Just thought you might all like to see a sneak preview of Aaron's car after the paint shop. I will only post one as he should really be the one bragging. It came out nice, at least what we could see of it in the dark last night. Smooth and all black.

how about a little brighter for us night-vision challanged ...

It looked better in my picture, before all the dust showed up from the increase in contrast.

here is a shot from this AM at home....

and da homies....

Lagunero (alberto) and Skline (scott).

these guys make the trip soo much fun

Hey Scott, I dont see your right hand. Is it in Alberto's back pocket?

I saw the Aaron Cox (aaron) 914 project last night, and it looks good in the dark! Those flares turned out badass... looks like someone owes Dan Callicot a hand job.

they also put down a textured coating in the cabin, and under the cowl area. where all the blower motor stuff resides.

holy crap, I didnt know we had the smiley. thats HILARIOUS!!!!!!!

Aaron,

Very nice, indeed. Black, IMO, is the best color for a 914.

Andy

NICE job Aaron... Can you say 6ER???
Mark

Fixed

Not really, but I couldn't find a good Pegy image.

Ride looks excellent Aaron!

Hope you enjoy washing it, 'cause a black car only looks really clean in the dark!

AA that color is sweet...

drive on by my place so I can get a closer look.....

next time my 914 will be black.

b

nice Aaron.
congrats

Looks like a nice paint job!

Was it done on this side of the mexican border?

-Rob

Nice job Aaron. Now for the fun part!

Woohoo AAron!!! Black rocks. Good luck on the finals man! THEN.... back to the black beast...

Looks great!! Black is so beautiful on a car with great lines.

Looks sweet. I can't wait to see it all together.

Why did you haul it from the painter?

Does the paint need to cure before final wetsanding?

I was told 2 weeks before you can wash it with soap and water..........

A-aron Admin doesn't have to worry, he uses his soap in other ways

Maybe he'll save some......

I do believe it needs to cure...

Taking auto body painting now....

one day is my thought.


Looks awesome!!!
Are you sure you want them to cut and buff it? You'll get a much stronger paint job, and you wont have to wax it as much if you dont.... Im not going to cut and buff mine... yet, im also going single stage.

Sick stuff man! Quick turn around I must add....

Looking good Aaron! Pass your classes and get to work on it!
Chris

2.5 weeks start to finish. it rocks. im uber happy.....

i just stored it in my dad's company's warehouse...... for a week or so.....


B's get degrees

andrew - its 2 stage paint. 3 coats base, 3 coats clear. they pulled the flares another inch or so from where they were. It looks Great now. It will look AWESOME after its colorsanded and buffed....

Damm, I am sorry I missed seeing it last night. My class did go well though so that is some consolation. Did you get any picts at Los Ponchos by any chance? I think the way that place looks would really surprise everyone when they see the work they do.

and speaking of , last night Aaron also donated to the TJ Policeman's Ball.

Sounds like fun!!!

Im going to be spraying mine, and I cant wait!!

Single stage.. unfortunately.. I would like to do a 2 stage paint. but they dont make it in phoenix red.. lol Might do a color match though..


This monday I cut and buff a fender for my auto paint class... Was pretty cool!! Loved seeing the diff.. My teach said he was going to use it as an example of a nice lay down of paint and clear, with the comparison for a cut and buff. ( I only cut and buffed 1/2 of the fender, as told)

Cant wait to see it in person!!!

Ohhhhh! Do tell...

Are we gonna see some actual photos of this thing in decent light, or what? The pics in the dark look awesome but.....

Saaaweeeet! Once you've had black, you'll.....

Can't wait to see this thing reassembled.

That was the best part of painting my 914...

Andyrew, you should be able to get something that looks exactly like Phoenix Red in a two stage. And from what I've seen, even if you go in to a paint shop with a paint code that paint code is a translation from the original brand. Each brand has slightly different tints, so your code for Pheonix Red really isn't as "original" as you might think. Soooooo, if you want two stage, get two stage.
