Use Imgur direct links, this site will embed them if you keep it enabled. Same with YouTube links.

Imgur was failing to upload the image for some reason, possibly too big?

What mods did ya do?

The only "mod" I've done was returning the airbox to stock since the PO put in a crappy loud pod filter thingy.

Gonna be replacing the front brake rotors soon because they're warped, gonna put normal non-slotted non-drilled ones since I really don't see why these are on a street car.

Also need to replace the shifter bushings - shift knob's a tad wobbly these days.

Basically I'm just replacing things as they break at this point. Keeping it clean and stock.

Fair enough. I remember you having a miata no? Painted it with a roller...lmao

^Hardtop was roller painted, much better than the whole car I did since I had a better idea of how to do it perfectly.


^ was the roller painted car, complete with rattle-canned wheels, headlamp surrounds, and wing mirrors.

honestly it looks pretty good lol, how the hell did it come out so smooth

If you can spray a car in a booth, you can do it with a roller. All techniques apply just the same, except the roller is far more forgiving.

Next time I do something like this, I want to experiment with mixing in glitter or some kind of metallic flake in the base layers to do a pseudo metallic effect, since the paint goes on in layers and the outside layers act as a sort of colored semi-clear coat, in effect. Paint lasts a surprisingly long time too, if you do it right and maintain it well.

this is pretty awesome, next time you do it I'd love to see a video in action

I don't have a picture right now, but I have a 2-door silver Altima coupe that's a few years old. If I remember, I'll take a picture, but Google is there if you can't wait.
