you can try to tape off around the clock and the screen and then repaint it back to black or finish off the blue.

Cool i'll definately do that before my show. or, so you don't have to worry about overspray again, you can just remove the surround and then remove the clock altogether so you don't have to worry about spraying something else. it's a matter of 2 tabs holding the clock in. either way i think your car is coming together nicely. i like the rims. would like them better if they weren't chrome though. maybe spray them black but leave the lip chrome. that would look amazing. but then again, maybe you like the chrome. don't listen to me. it's your car  keep us posted on any updates. you can check out my build thread if you would like for ideas. just click my avatar. leave me your suggestions. it's always nice to hear what others think about my work and what they think would be a nice addition. --------------------  Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;) |

looks good!
id ditch the blue interior... but it gives it a nice custom look. make sure you keep the wheels clean as chrome always looks really dirty from the slightest bit of dirt. make sure you do up the tires. do them an hour or so before the car show so they dry all nice. also do up the window trim etc with the tire shine too if you wish. make sure to clean up the interior and leave a satin finish instead of gloss, looks alot better. all in all looks very nice and im sure you are happy! and thats all that matters -------------------- you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!

The overspray looks horrible. Not shy on that comment.lol but i did tape it off but as i was spraying the buttons on the clock caused the taped to pop up allowing some of the spray to get under it. And yeah i was a little pissed when i first saw it but then i didn't care. i'm not a proffesional, i understand that and this was the first time i'd done anything of the sort. and really the pic looks alot worse than it is. it turned out suprisingly even giving it a "unique" look, if you want to call it that. i've come to terms with it and it really doesn't bother me. not bad next time take the peices out and then paint them. Really easy to remove I like the idea of painting the rims and leaving the lip chrome -------------------- Buy my Celica $2,500 - http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=76562&st=0
