This is my English project that i did another chameleon paint job on. (Im a 16 year old Sophmore in Highschool)
The assignment was to choose one word that best represents your personality and decorate the first letter of that word. (I of course knew i was going to do "Gearhead" as soon as the teacher told us wat the assignment was).
If u look closely, you can see the shape of the letter "G". i made it look like the shape of a car, with the front bumper, spoiler, and rear bumper all integrated into the shape of the letter "G".

Always wondered if those kits worked.

Got the high res version of those pics? Can you take pics in a brighter lit area? From different angles? Might be cool for some painting backgrounds...

thanx for the comment...um i dont know wat u mean by "high res" versions...im pretty much a "de-de-de" when it comes to photography, i just try to hold the camera still and push the button.:smile: oh and since im 16 and cant afford a digital camera i only get to use my mom's old one..which has 2 megapixels(whatever the heck that means lol)

Only 2mp? Ow.... Better than most cell phone cameras at least :D

I've seen those kits before but I never could think of anything I felt like painting... if you want a cheap way to reproduce it in small quantities, get chameleon fingernail polish (might want to take a lady friend along so you dont get funny looks). Thin it, and spray it with an airbrush. I've never tried it but I hear it works wonders and is dirt cheap in the long run. Works with just about any fingernail polish...

O' what neat tricks I learned back in the days of building model cars....

thanx man...yeah im banned from using my moms new digital camera cuz i kept dropping the old one while trying to take pics lol. i just decided to buy the kit and randomly decided to paint what i painted

Hm, interesting. That almost makes me want to paint my valve cover like that, I wonder if its a high temp paint. Autozone has some suprisingly decent spray paints. I've already painted my wheels, taillights, and valve with some Autozone stuff.

I don't think autozone carries high temp chameleon paint

Your so repainting my car....

I saw chameleon FD in Houston before, although I'm not one for the flashy, I really wanted to hump that car.

Your so repainting my car....

thanx...altho i dont know if this "rattle can" paint kit would be good enough for a car. i think this kit is mainly intended for plastics.

Leave car alone. I am close enough to come give you a swift kick in the ass.

I picked up that tidbit from back when BMC was young... I heard some pretty funny stories of guys getting funny looks while buying huge quantities of nail polish.

WOW GREAT JOB MAN!!! just curious how do u "spray" paint it...since i assume nail polish doesnt come in a spray bottle lol

Thanks. Thin it with lacquer thinner and shoot it through an airbrush.:) Click the link for more pictures.

When your in northport. I have no time to take an 8 hour drive to morrisville. I should get your # and come by when I am heading to the other park at 57 to ride.

OOHHH i seeee....lol yeah that makes sense. i checked out those other pics...that's off the chain. it matches perfectly with the gold rims

yeah, they sell that kit at autozone. i did it to small plastic pieces, came out ok, but your whole car would cost alot for a not so great finish.

is that magenta/gold car real or a model? its so hard to tell cause you guys are soooo good with the models!!! whatever it is...its sweet!!!

i live on long island...are you in northport long island?

you can paint your bike yourself...just prep it right.

how do you post pics?

Tonio's cars are all holograms... he's that good. Okay maybe its a model.

Host pics at putfile.com and use the url they provide to post here using the yellow button with the mountain on it

believe it or not, its a factory spec paint job....was a Specail Edition of only 300 afaik...

main colours are from Purple to Green, but its said to be able to show 7 different colours depending on the type of light shining on it and the angle you view it at...
green, purple, bronze, blue, red, brown, gold are ones I can remember

same car, different angle you can see more of a bluey colour..

how much extra was that paint option over regular colors?

Like a mystiachrome for the cobra... I remember that was a 3K option.

how much extra was that paint option over regular colors?

sterling = United Kingdom pounds sterling.

iirc the car was sold new for around £22k which at todays exchange rate would be around $42,640 USD.... I bought it 3 yrs old, at £8k .. approx $15,505 USD

ahhhhhhhh gotcha...thanks!!!
