I am in need of advice!

Hi Car World,
I am in need of your advice for what I should do with this 2002 Navigator. It is missing tires, has white painted seats (white out), black sharpy lines down the center. It was supposed to be good but i messed up. I have ideas to put a tv in the back with woofers. Tvs in the seats, tint the windows, put rims on, re paint it a color for inside and outside and lower it.

I am a biginer and will need some ideas for what to also do, and maybe advice on the things listed above.

Thank you :sunglasse

is that the pic of the model, if so take a picc of the interior so we can see what happend, i would love to help!

get the roof rack

change the paint.. (strip the old one)

detail the interior(airbrush/can spray) for the bigger parts

buy some NEW rims & axles.. or get it from your unused MODELS.

agreed with rasta, but when painting make sure to take off every plastic peice, and strip the old paint!!

yeah... take all plastic parts.. when stripping the body paint.

and dont forget to detail the interiors....

by the way... post some new pics.. so we can help you out.

:)

Thank you

Ok...Remember the 1st two threads you posted? Try...the complete opposite of what you did there.

okay. first of all if your using white out and black sharpie as your sources of *pimping out* try again. nothing good (usually) can come out of black sharpie and white out. have you ever heard of model paint? go to your local hobby shop and they can help you out. ask them questions that's why they're there. do not use sharpie. you know what just put your sharpies away in a corner or something. do you get bored at the office and use office supplies to do your cars? i mean don't mean to come down hard but yeah, no office supplies!

What would you experts sugest for me to paint it, and if i should make a carbon fibre hood?
Thanks

no cf hood. it's not a japanese car. and when your at the hobby shop get some brushes. and i recomend those small bottle jars by model masters and get acrylic. it's easy to clean off the brush. (this is all for the interior i'm talking about) when painting the exteior use an airbursh or spray can. no brushes.

dont use cf hoods!!

that car would be a nice project...

you can do it,.. just dont rush things...

:)

Thank You

ill look for some reference picture's for you..

I guess everyone has taken care of you. Remember, the paint works for both plastic models and diecast models (because the interior is the same type. If you want to go the extra mile then paint the engine and undercarriage for detail. Like they said, take your time. It's not going anywhere.

Haven't done it yet, so Welcome to AF! :wave:

just leave it as it is.

@rasta and in the house do those rims + big breaks. nothing looks worst than a car w/ huge rims and small breaks.

yeah... its up to him now...

how he will do this project.. hope you have lots of patience...

goodluck!

I have some progress, and some pics. I need to know if blue would look good with silver metallic, and if so, how should i paint it.(ex. A line down middle, The roof, the side skirts.ETC)

Well, I'm not really known for making "Dubbed Out" cars and whatnot, so my opinion might just be rediculious, but I say just go with a solid color, but if you must use more than one color, go with a two-tone style, the top half silver, and the bottom blue, but make sure you use a darker color for the divider, but other than that, good to see a new face and a person interested in this field, good luck, and I hope you have fun, advice and motivation is here if you need it.

hey, i tryed the one tone idea, but with metallic silver, the car looked too plain. I am willing to go with the one color idea, but what color. I was thinking black.
Thanks

How about you paint in the way you like?
