powder coating + black hoods

[djgarv]

alright...decided that my vtir is gonna get the jdm/sleeper look..i'm over all the bling...

just wondering where's a good place to go in melb if i want to powder coat my stockies black? and how much should i be paying for a job like that?

also curious...what are people's opinions of black hoods? since CF hoods are illegal and all...what do ppl think of painted black hoods?

i dont really like the look of a CF hood in the first place so probs ppl will just give you crap, will say you wish u had CF but cant afford or sum shit, ppl always have to pick on you lol. but i wouldnt do it if i were u.

but your car is red so i dunno....

[lerroy]

Full carbon fibre hoods are illegal yes

But you can still by a carbon fibre hood approved with crumple zones and alloy support ( not 100% carbon)

Hit up Hondar he was selling them for DC2 for $650 and $100 bucks shipping anyware

And i love the hoods :)

i asked my dad. he used to work in powder coating factory. im in sydney though, he goes its roughly 120bucks, depending on what is on the wheels already. price might be different, as my dad knows the ppl that do it . hope that helps.

[EGG80X]

just get a cf hood, u know u want to

illegal, not until u get caught

[z3lda]

is ur car red or maroone? cuz black on red is alright but black on marOone is another story

if your gonna get ur wheels powder coated, u gotta first take the tyres off, then take to a sand blasting joint, then take it to a powder coatin place. alot of work.

or you could just drop them off at a tyre place and they can send it out for you lol, which is about 35-40 per wheel dependin on place

where abouts in melb are you. do you have fat fives on atm?

[type one]

yes djgarv has fat fives :)

bell street powder coating djgarv, they will diamond sandblast and powdercoat for you.... but yes you will need to take the rims off in the meantime. How you going to drive your baby around?

[djgarv]

can run around 4wd styles on my 17s in the meantime i guess lol
thought about this...black powder coat with maroon coloured nuts...haw haw haw wat do ya reckon nic

just do it yourself, theres a few articles on TI for sprayin your own rims, you may as well, if you do a good job you saved yourself some $$$ and if not you were going to get it done anyway - but gun metal definately better...I've actually always wondered what a cf hood would look like on my torino (maroon) teg...

[lerroy]

tell me that black weapon isnt sex on wheels

ahha

[djgarv]

i was JUST about to ask if anyone had pics of powder coated fat fives cos i kinda imagined it to be yuk too lol...but wasn't sure

but DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
what front bar is that btw?

[sheepo]

hmmm i always like the idea of a blood red coloured car with CF hood =X

[z3lda]

what front bar is that btw?

98+ front with USDM ITR lip

[djgarv]

what abt the rear? kinda looks different but then maybe not...

lovin that antenna too

[type one]

s2000 antenna.

car looks nice, on your maroon garv i would go for gunmetal powdercoat. look sxc.

[panda[cRx]]

show us the results when u r done buddy :)

[faijai]

djgarv.
got the front bumper + lips and everthing u need to get a sexxy front liek that!!
click the link in my signature if ur interested.

[djgarv]

haven't sold that stuff yet? don't have tat sorta money lying around now but by the tme i do u would've sold it

gunmetal is an option...
what about bronze? like that volks bronze colour?

[type one]

bronze and maroon might be a little too much of a contrast.

[djgarv]

hrmmm i do know that maroon/gold looks alright...but i guess that is how i see it
gunmetal would be the safer option ey

although this aint a teg but its still a maroon car with gold wheels:D

[djgarv]

thanks for that
there's a picture of a maroon dc2 with gold rims n the gallery section of OH...
gold might be too bright but i think bronze might look good - that civic is more bronzey than the dc2 with gold...and it looks better

[snowman95]

..is that a jdm teg front on that civic?

looks hot, is it yours ??

[GReY_CVC]

i dun fink black bonnet will suit ur colour... just an opinion though...

[djgarv]

yeah don't think i'll go black or CF for that matter

[egSi]

black hoods = :thumbdwn:

[type one]

hey hey.. black hoods are HOT...

[crispy]

Black hoods are definately different. Look its up to you what you want to do to your car and no1 should influence it, but i think it would look a bit cheesy on a burgundy car but thats just my 2 cents!!

[djgarv]

can't tell if u're being sarcastic nic...black would definitely look mad on your car but i dunno about mine

[Steer^Gimic]

hey crispy didnt know you where on here!!

IMO black hoods only look good if the paint is more basic color. like white/red/yellow/silver.
but when you start mixing it with maronn's, turqoise and all that it does look like cheese! but yeh, gunmetal fat 5's. nice one

[J-MuN]

CF hoods are mad... but i'm not sure bout painted black hoods.. means that u want it for the look, not for the performance [looks at JINRAI]... i must admit yeh the looks look dang hawt but dunno... i dunno if i would paint the hood.. and btw, HOW illegal is a CF hood?.. defekt obviously but do the cops look out for these kinda "accessories"?

[djgarv]

i'm guessing they do...isn't it the most noticeable mod...JUST before they pop your hood to defect you? hehehehe

[panda[cRx]]

looks hot, is it yours ??

u serious man? look a lil closer....yes closer....yes right THERE at the steering wheel on the LEFT SIDE :p

[djgarv]

got a quote for the powder coating...
$40 to sandblast
$40 to powder coat
+ GST - per wheel
So all up, it'll be around $350

Sound about right?
