update: after pics of crx (56K warning!)

this guy is a friend of mine. he airbrushed his ride for a senior project. i think he did a good job considering it was his first time.

please no comments on the altezza's :thumbsdow he bought the car with them. since, has put money into the paint and re-molding the kit to the car. if someone has some stocks to donate....send them over. if not, this is not an altezza debate thread :headshake

dude can get down with his airbrushing skills :bigthumb:

that's pretty damn cool..not my style... but definitely some cool stuff...

one question though... what's up with the altezza's? :rolleyes: :thefinger hehe.

that is soooo sweet!!!!!


make sure you tell him he has mad skilz :biggrin:

drool. that looks sick! :D

whos primer hatch in the back?

EDIT - nevermind i just read the other thread :iceslolan

thats awesome, but i think he did the metal style too far into the rear, he shouldve cut it back with more red, but it looks very dope.

im sorry but i personaly think that is friggin ugly. at first i thought the car had mold on it. thats just the way it looked to me. i dont know i give him props for having the guts to do it for the first time on his own car, bu i just dont like it.:spit:

that is dope! I dunno about the hood, i would have continued the 'ripping' effect on the red paint on the hood, but god damn that boy has mad skills!

He did an awesome job painting, but poor paint scheme selection.

i think that car looked sick(in a good way) all red.

it a orange color actually. i saw it in person right around the time he got it. kinda of a dark orange copper color.

That's pretty friggin' sweet. Doesn't look amature at all. My only question is, what's with the tow-hook thing in the front?

...on a side note, ami...dont you ever feed your kid??? ;)

The paint looks good..

But you're gonna control whether or not people comment on the fact that the ugly part of the car is the Altezzas?! :thumbsdow

Thats mad pimped!
I like it, did a good job too!

because either you like them or you don't. enough already. as it is he doesn't like them....but is stuck with them. what is the point of saying "he should get rid of them"????? gh3y.

to everybody else...i'll pass on the word. he doesn't have internet at the moment (he used to post here :frown: ) i wanted to post up the pics because i thought he did a pretty good job (reguardless of color theme) and there are some people here who have seen the car in person as it was before.

impressive, very unique i love it

tell him to swing by the east coast, and paint my car.

Damn yo! That is fukin sweet!!! that is VERY good for a first time!!!!

damn! not that is some good work!!!i typically dont like airbrush much, but that is very nice, and detailed, i love how he has the weather look with the rust coming down from the bolts, but, i think he should of continued the pattern thruout the hood (the ripping effect) everyone knows in not a very big fan of carbon fiber hoods and such, but i think that car would looks SWEET with a c/f hood!

Reall good job for a 1st time brushing, man I got to hook up myairbrush kit to my compressor and get practicing on my stuff!:smile:

damn yo, hes got da mad skills yo :D

Damn you ami, see what you got me doing now. I blame you for this.
Wasn't he supposed to show up at the May 10th Meet?

was supposed to but the car wasn't ready by then. but since you mention it....he did stop by the house the night before at like 11pm. :bigthumb:

PHAT!

That is absolutely quality, he has talent, i'm pushing myself to start airbrushing, one thing I would like to know is how long did it take him and what sort of airbrush set-up is he using ? Thanks very much.

That looks really good. I like IT. :bigthumb:

very sweet, your boy has some skillz, whats his future plans with the skillz?......is he gonna paint cars for $?

:eek2: :eek2: that is one of the sickest paint jobs i've ever seen, good job

how long did it take him to do that?

VERY GOOD SKILLS,

the paintwork is not my style though, but OMG thats some good work,

and i dont see why everyone hates on altezzas, just coz a lot of people have em dont mean there shit does it :bloated:

Eh it looks aite. I mean he has good art but its just not my style. It doesn't really look rite.

Gotta love the altezzas....oh oops! I mean that airbrushing is the shiznit! I was thinking that sort of effect on my rexy a wee while back and now my mind's back on it. Good job!!!

:dogpile:

that takes a lot of skill, very killer
