Project "smooth ass" ford focus

[454SS]

How about some deep shiny red or bright green?

[chrismcgee]

green is a possibility, green and black somehow???

i keep thinking that this is gonna be needing a colour changing paint, or a realy realy good pearl paint to show off the smoothness.

a blue to gold flip?

The rims look great.

i am gonna need some help from anyone that can use photoshop as i cant!! i need to see what the focus will look like in a few different colours with the rims on, i am sitting in a can of ts14 black, but am considering a blue or others?

possible considerations are purple, or red, or even a green, im still unsure, i can airbrush or can spray, its just there is still no word from jimbob about my flip paint.

and my cars are going onto WWW.shockdesynz.co.uk

this is where people will be able to order a custom model up from me n stuff, the site is getting featured in max power in september as the guy who owns the company, andy, does all their graphics etc.

I think because its gonna get a lot of coverage then i will be able to get a lot of work through it. cool.

hmmmm possible plugs for SAS kit could be added for the right deal, lol.

Hey Chris...It just came to me. I know who sells that flip paint stuff. I don't know where your located. However, in the US at Wal-Mart they sell colorchanging paint by dupli-color. There is purple to green, red to gold and whatnot. It comes with a flatblack base coat the color coat and a clear coat for $18.96 plus tax thats USD money.

thats pretty cool but i went and bought 3 different colours last night to test for the focus:

1) a light blue pearl with a gold flip
2) a purple metalic that is quite light but is cool
3) a deep candy like blue with metaic flakes.

i am gonna try option 1 first, i want this baby to show her smooootttthhhhh ness as much as i can!

gonna slam it as much as possible as soon as i have finished tidying my new desk set up!

[chrismcgee]

ok, just had a pm from jimbob and he has saved the day, he has posted me my flip paints, yay, so the colour of the car is back to red to blue flip or what ever other colours he has sent me, oooooo i cant wait now, hehehe, this is gonna be so cool.

ahem sorry im getting a bit excited, lol.

i will be calm and serious now

What exactly is flip paint?

[D.J.]

It changes color when looking at other angle. Kinda

[454SS]

It's like chameleon paint. It changes colors at angles. Chris thats a lot of cash to be spending on a building. Hope it all works out good for you.

chris, been following this for a while, and i have to say this has got to be one of the cleanest focus's out there. many have tried, but where they have failed, you have succeeded. my congratulations on your job so far. hope the paint works out well. and hope your building job goes well. that's a hell of a lot of money to lose if something goes FUBAR. take it easy and keep up the good work.

your local punker...
