Had my arches painted today and they came out real nice. Did most of the labor myself and my body guy charged me $100.00 for painting them.
the pictures arent so good. it was raining out.

 

wow looks really nice

what kinda "labor" was required you doing it on your own?

and how much was the body kit?

 

That looks cool! Did you leave the arches on the car to prep and paint or did you have to remove them? Ive been wanting my arches painted too.

 

the labor was removing all the arches off the car. the rear was the worst. had to take the inner fender liners out to get the clips from the inside so they didnt break.i paid about $ 700 for the front and sides. i dont have the rear yet

 

did they sand the plastic before painting?
the car looks really good with the gloss black arches!
nicely done!

 

The paint job looks nice, but it looks kind of funny with the white roof. Also with the sideskirts body color. I am not sure.

 

the roof is white and black so it matches that. the side skirts are red with the black on the bottom that follows the arches so that matches also. im not sure what you are talking about

 

Sweet, sweet ride. Nice work. Wheels are pretty hot as well.

 

I like it. I think the black coordinates well with the black tinted windows, frames, grill area, and mirror arms.

 

thanks for the compliments

 

I think that car looks ****.

 

I love it, nice job, I also like the S that is on the roof, how much did that cost, and where could I get something like that?

 

Can you show a shot of the front arch meeting the side skirt? I would like to see thew transition from black to red. Thank you. It does look sharp. I am having my cvar touched up. I am thinking about the body colored trim too. I worry about what to do with the mud flaps.

 

close ups of the two color skirts, please.

 

Nice job.

 

>>close ups of the two color skirts, please.

The skirts are painted the way the factory kit is suppose to be painted...if you see dealers just painting the whole thing it is either cuz they are too stupid to figure it out or read directions or they are going for the cheaper route as painting it "correctly" costs more.

 

Beautiful job- great look- very well done indeed.
Any more goodies? Driving lights?
What type of wheels are those? 18" Really nice.
Now all you need are a matching white and blue cooper with aero kits to wander around motorin
like in the Italian Job.

 

i will take more photos when the car is clean and it is not raining.

the wheels are 18" konig tantrum 2's 3 pc wheel

the rest of the goodies are goin on to be inside the car.
2 headrest monitors
custom amp install
hid conversion
rear facing camera
and so on

no driving lights

 

Very nice. I've seen both the body color and black on the Pure Silver. I am going with the gloss black. looks less "off-road" and more finished IMO.

 

how do the wheelarches come off? i would like to get mine painted too!
