So when does your vape pen show up in the mail? Blue tinted headlights and yellow tinted fog lights take you to the front of the line for a Subaru-bro starter pack.

ahem... the passenger fender is fubar and will be a test panel for my vinyl wrap skills before I wrap the whole car.
the fender will be blue brushed aluminium.
the whole car (including that fender) will be a mature dark grey

Hmm, I happen to really hate being blinded by blue lights at night, even more than the usual Q7 lamps burning my retinas with the force of Dr. Evil’s laser beams.

I actually like it.
I also don’t care what people think/assume when seeing mods I did to my cars, that helps.
Then again, considering the typical classic American car crowd here, I wouldn’t have bought mine if I cared.

I think for a minute you were talking about “here” being Oppo, but maybe now I’m thinking you were talking about wherever you live that isn’t so much a fan of awesome cars? It’s early. Wait, wut?

So, re-sanding and re-blue-ing with only one coat is on the menu to see if one coat dries light enough?

Ahh, no, I meant the geographical here! Poor writing from my side.
I was at a classic car show a few weeks back, and you could often see from afar who owned something american. for pick-ups: middle aged men with long greasy hair and a lot of denim, cowboy hat optional. 50's cars: rockabilly style (that one is quite nice actually). 70's car: midlife crisis guy who thinks his cars is best and you shouldn’t approach it. And so on.

yeah. I think I may need to use a standard clear first, but then I am planning a subtle single coat. then wait a day or so to see how it dries before applying any additional coats.

me too. I’m considering trying a single coat of blue, to see if I can get a subtle tinge of blue rather than a BOLD BLUE!!!!

while you’re laboring on the sanding, have you got any prospective clear test panels laying around to try your next formulation on?
Idealy you’d go to a paint shop show/tell them what you want and get something special mixed, but that is likely somewhat cost prohibitive
"MonkeePuzzle" (monkeypuzzle)
08/03/2017 at 09:51, STARS: 0
nope, nothing to really test it on.
and yeah, I DIY because I’m a baller on a budget. and its the hobby, I like giving new things a go and just see what happens.
