Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
OH! i see that you have yours maui blue. I actually considered that color, its so beautiful!
and yes i definitely had a hard time deciding whether to go two-toned or solid, but i feel like two toned will make the car look a little more.. subtle? i dont know if thats the right word seeing as a hot pink car will never be subtle. haha I think the black will balance the pink and make it not so loud, if that makes sense? heres my inspiration;
if you can just imagine the orange hot pink!
Well thank you! I was worried about posting about my pink camaro but im glad you guys like the idea! i definitely will have pics up of the finished car within the next 2 weeks!

Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
House of color pink pearl is a sick color . Here is it on a notch that is for sale up by me. I have seen the car in person and the pic does not even do it justice .
It is VERY expensive though . Guy claims it was $5000 for the paint alone on this car .

Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
haha i wish my wife shared the same enthusiasm for our cars as you did, when we started dating she loved my car and couldnt get enough of it but now... not so much lol i cant even get her to sit outside with me while i do a freakin oil change lol
its gonna look sick i cant wait to see how this turns out for you i saw someone mention the black accents, ever consider black headlight buckets and maybe black gfx?
And to be perfectly honest id rock the pink thirdgen but i wouldnt paint mine any color but blue, maybe a project car for my daughter when shes older haha

Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
Great work...in for the results.
My sister is 17 as well, drives a black/gold 86 Z28. her car is much nicer than my 87 was at her age...but mine is about 4 seconds faster in the 1/4 lol.

Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
Thank you! Im flattered! As for now i am completely happy with my v6 That may sound wimpy but i think for right now its enough power for me! Im only 17 so i think ive got plenty of time! And honestly, id rather look hot driving slow and crusing, than drive fast and wreck all my work! LOL I told my dad i wanted a twin turbo supra and he about flipped! In a few years when i have more driving experience i know he would be down for whatever engine i want tho! I guess i should start planning ahead tho! Theres so much i can do! Lol
I knew a 17 year old gal whose Dad gave her a conquest TSI, which were ridiculously fast cars, and she had almost totaled it twice in under six months.
As with others.. can't wait to see the finished product.

Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
So I just joined this today and when i saw hot pink thirdgen i cringed haha untill i opened and saw i'm not the only girl restoring a 3rd gen. Even though i'm not a pink kinda girl i think the two tone pink and black is a good scheme to break it up. Can't wait to see it done =)
haha no its okay i understand, Im beyond ready to see this car in paint! but we spent all day monday doing some final preperations, like the deck lid on the trunk was about an inch out from the car and the deck lid didnt line up with the fender, so we had to drill bigger holes in order to adjust it so it would line up. It was trial and error in order to get both sides even. and with my paint job the way the two tone is going to be, the deck lid HAD to be even. So im definitely READY to paint the car but im not gonna try and rush the process because i dont want to half *** the paintjob when ive already put tons of hours and money into it, id rather it be done right. greatness takes time, so one more week isnt gonna kill me, i will have the rest of my life to drive the pink maro but its definitely ready to paint!!
yeah the weather was definitely not on my side last week! grr we tried to work on it like 5 nights in a row but it was storming, so that definitely halted work :/

Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
wow nice work and good job so far, be sure to stop by the v6 section if the engine gives u any problems or u want to get a lil more out of it
weve got guys making 300hp n/a and guys making 3-400 with hp turbocharged motors
heres 2 links to check out
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/v6/5...my-3-4-t3.html
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/v6/5...00-t-88-a.html
2 turbo builds one is using rwd stuff while the other is using a later generation aluminum fwd top end on the motor
and if in doubt about that motors strenght heres a completly stock 2.8 with a turbo and nitrous
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/v6/5...vastation.html
it finally blew up with 10 psi of boost and a 200 shot of nitrous but that was form a backfire in the intake dam thing prolly would have held together with 15 psi and a 300 shot had it not backfired for some reason

Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
Holy crap that's sweet. Hopefully her car turns out something like this. To the O.P. Good job on what you are doing and like everyone said it's refreshing to see a female taking a real intrest in 3rd gens.

Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
It's not an old thread...
and maybe it's my old fogeyness coming through, but I think it's pretty disrespectful to call her your "baby girl", unless of course, you actually are one of her parents.

Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
in retrospect I guess I need to clarify myself. I did not look at the date on some of the latest posts so your right it is not an old thread. I apologize. NOW!!!!!! for the one's that piped up about the "baby girl" comment I MEANT NO DISRESPECT. I do not mean that I am trying to get with her I don't even know her but now I see how that comment could have been interpreted as disrespectful and maybe even sexual harassment. Don't get me wrong she is nice looking but I like the car more and just wanted to know if it was coming along well or was finished. If it is not then when she gets finished it's going to be "HOT" I'm talking about the car. thank you for all of your comments and concerns. sometimes you just have to remember that you can't say to everyone what you say to your friends. Things that make you go by the way I love the color I want my 89rs a deep dark purple I guess they call it midnight blue or something

Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
thats awesome that your doing your own work, theres a lot of guys out there who don't know the difference between a DA sander and orbital buffer. On a side note, as someone who went through a 2 year bodywork class, wear a dust mask. Your lungs will thank you.

Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
Radar blue is the purplish color on the cobalts. If you want a midnight blue, look at the later 4th gen dark blues, they are very really rich and deep in color.

Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
I wanna see how this turns out too, looks great so far. I think it's awesome to see young people into these cars (Like me....)
And I really do respect how you're happy with the V6, because like others have said, that's the responsible, Smart, not to mention safe way to go about it (Not like me....)
I have some advice for you though. For the love of god, do not ever let your friends drive your car! Or if you have a boyfriend, him either... They won't show the respect to your car that you will, after actually putting something into it. If they say they will, don't trust them

Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
soooo its been exactly 13 hours since we started working on the car today and im exhausted! But she must be painted! Heres some more pics of the black! And the masked up top half, we just layed down a coat of sealant, and then its the white base, then the kandy, and then FINALLLY the clear I never realized how much work actually painting a car is, especially because we are being EXTRA picky and being perfectionists. haha but shes soooooo gonna be worth it when shes done! Okay now back to work :P

Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
Its looking good tdub! I bet you're totally excited! I would be too! Cant wait to see her all finished. The black on top with any other color on the bottom is a cool paint scheme in general. I liked this pic...
A black and white car like this would look cool too. Congrats on your progress and keep up the good work! You will definately have something to be very proud of when you are done.

Re: Hot pink thirdgen, For the girls!
wouldn't it be normal to paint the lighter color first, and then the black over it? I'm guess if you are pinstriping the transition it won't matter, but it seems kind of backwards to me
