Subaru Impreza Project

[2006wrxtr]

Thinking about doing the whole car with
Duplicolor rubberized under coating. So far
I have done the back bumper, and today the
trunk lid.

What do you think of the progress so far??

[Rocket Power]

Umm, okaayy......

[pOrk]

Interesting approach, going to be a pain to fix if you decide you dont like it

[03Seville]

Probably should of tested the look with plastidip first just to see if you would even like the look of the finished product.

Not my style but to each their own...

[LIL EVO]

Looks like a primered trunk. Go get it resprayed!

[BR3W CITY]

that undercoat is going to trap water, bedliner probably would have been more effective. When I re-did the floors on my truck, everyone I spoke with skipped rubberized coatings and just used bedliner for the same purpose.

[nismodave]

Im sorry but....

_0qsi1z4Fi8

[Wagonbacker9]

If this was done in a "trunks beat up so no care" mentality, then I think your undercoating would have been better spent on gas to find a pick and pull trunk lid in your paint code

[Irish]

If you would have attempted to mask the emblems off/remove, fix the dents...


...nevermind it still would have looked bad.

[The Shaolin]

Oh, my.

[Yooformula]

told ya cans arent the way to go, it gets all blotchy and furry...lol. 3m adhesive remover will take that off super fast though.

[-stew-]

You goddamn decide if you wanna be the guy driving the car with dents or be the guy who thinks hes hiding dents but only fooling himself.

Wow, that doesn't look good LOL

Doesn't that stuff come off easily?

[Wagonbacker9]

Doesn't that stuff come off easily?
Plastidip, yes... undercoating.. not really, other than:


3m adhesive remover will take that off super fast though.

[Waver]

Wow, it looked better in gloss black.

[Rocket Power]

The dents actually stand out more now:rolf:rolf:rolf

[Waver]

That was what I was thinking.........

[73MACH]

The dents actually stand out more now:rolf:rolf:rolf

My thoughts exactly

[srt4eh]

ewwwww.....lol....

[Wagonbacker9]

I think the dents standing out is more due to the lighting, but I could be wrong..

[2006wrxtr]

I put Vynl down on the panel first, So it'll peel right off.
Guess I could have stretched it over the dents instead of
forming it to them.

Just expirementing. Dare to be different. It does look better
in person than in the pics.

Finding a subaru trunk lid around here is just about impossible.
Once I close on the new house and actually have a garage I can
take care of the dents then decide what I want to do with the paint.

I spayed it with armorall tire foam after I took these pics..

[Waver]

Why dont I see that helping it at all?

[The Shaolin]

You are aware, of course, that other people have dented and repaired cars, yes? Did you know they actually make products designed for this?

For what you spent on undercoating, vinyl, and tire shine, you could have picked up some body filler, sandpaper, and primer, and had the trunk lid ready for paint, even without a garage.

[2006wrxtr]

all things I hade lying around the house. I am in the process of doing the body work,
a bit at a time...

[2006wrxtr]

This car is going to be taken down gravel and dirt roads, through brush
and generally hostile enviroments about once a month. Hence not repairing the
dents. The Liners was planned as more of an armor or more durable coating.
I deliver to a LineX and have spoke to the owner Jon about coating some of the car.
He's all for it, and will give me a at cost price if he can put a big ole' LineX decal
on the car.
Got a Ebay Catback that I might install today. I can't decide if I want to
leave it polished, or take it to my powder coater. Either coat it black or
a bright color like Lime Green, or something Florescent.

I also have new Rotors and pads for all 4 corners on the way, and a 3/8"
Aluminum Skid Plate to replace the Factory plastic unit up front.

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t297/mike93lx/IMAG0138.jpg

[Irish]

From this...


I was just teasing about the mods. I may improve handling and brakes but the drive train
will remain stock. And I will keep this for quite a while. We close on our new house Jan. 15th
and I really needed to get something more practical and economical. Hell this thing should run
for at least another 100k miles.

I will get another toy in a year or two..

Finally, this...


For sale, gently used...

[2006wrxtr]

There will be videos on YouTube, so Being untruthful about how the
car has been treated would be unwise..

I did figure out how to to AWD Donuts yesterday...

Am thinking about putting these on the Impreza
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t297/mike93lx/yo_geo_at_s_bw_ci2_l_zps0e3ead6e.jpg
The Geolandar A/T-S is Yokohama's On-/Off-Road All-Terrain tire developed for jeep, pickup truck and SUV drivers who want tires that combine a bold off-road attitude with a capable on-road aptitude. Geolandar A/T-S tires are designed to deliver long mileage and promote even wear while providing year-round traction, even in snow.

They are about an inch taller than what I have now, just wondering if they will rub?? I may also order a set of lift plates from primative performance,
raise it up maybe an inch. Or put spring rubbers in to stiffen the factory springs.

What do you think??

[Wagonbacker9]

If you want a truck, why dont you buy one?

I like subies too. Which is the real Greek tragedy. So much going for those cars.

Loved to watch them smoking new drivers in Autocross. In the hands of a pro driver they would cut away their lap times.

I would like to be able to do Pin Stripping and Flames on cars in my own shop one day.
Maybe when I retire from my current vocation. So I use my car for a bit of practice, no
big deal as long as it is revesable. I ordered a video and some pin Stripping supplies
and will probably be stripping all kinds of things and pissing my wife off some. I flamed out
my old grill maybe I will take some pics of that,,,....

It's take a certain type of car to pull off a flame look, and then it's even a matter of personal opinion. By the time you decide to do it as a hobby(job?) it's going to be a long lost style, it already basically is.


also imo if you wanna practice painting, go find yourself scrap pieces from the junkyard and paint those.

To quible...because that's what I do:

If you are going to do a "before" and "after" to show what something looks like before a process and after the process, it strikes me as logical to put the "before" shot first and the "after" shot second....just like real life. Easier to follow that way.

I mean, it's not like the unveiling of your work should be laid out like the movie "Memento" or something....

That is why I asked for opinions. Yours for the most part is helpful. I think the paint needs to be thinned
more. I tried expirementing today on my old grill, but it is so F'ing Hot!!! 95* that the paint is pretty much
just evaporating.


Burn it??? This car is so much fun, and I don't have to worry about where I park it or even what other peoples
overall thoughts are on the car...

Yeah I can laugh at myself, life isn't that serious. Well at least this car isn't.
But then again, well never mind..

Could you imagine if my wife was anything like my car??

Just kidding ;-) I am going to paint the car tomorrow and had some shelve paper laying around and decided to use it to mask off the larger areas.

[2006wrxtr]

I think it is looking better. A couple more coats and it should be done.
When I sprayed on the undercoat sound dampening stuff it must not
have been even. That is why getting the paint even is a bit hard.

Took these pics with an actual camera.

[xxtremeteam]

was there ant prep work done this looks like its textured?? what is your goal ?

[2006wrxtr]

It is textured with Bedliner . I am going for a kind of Armored look with the flat black.
Just need to even it out with a couple more coats. I take it off road anytime I can.

[Wagonbacker9]

I think you define off road differently than we do.

so you have no clue what your doing and just like to waste supplies and time, i guess good luck to you

My riding lawn mower has been "off road" more than this car..... For what its worth you should have done the roof and pillar's as well so it's all the same.. Then it won't look as.... Bad.

It looks terrible.

poor car....

Off road? What? I hardly consider doing a lawn job going "off road". Hell you didnt even go over the curb. If you wanted a truck why the hell didnt you go buy a fucking truck? Is the crack down there that good?

I went over the curb at 30mph.... And the roof will be flat black like the rest off the car.

Who cares if it is totaled I don't plan on selling it...

As far as the Crack goes why don't you ask your MOTHER, she may know.

I sanded the car down smooth and reshot it, roof and all. Will get some more pics when the rain ends.

You really suck at this internet forum posting thing don't you....If you are trying to quote me, you need to do a better job at it.


I went over the curb at 30mph.... Dude, I saw the video, you went up a flat area in the "curb" ie it was level with the road...If you were to take a real curb at 30 mph you would bend the control arm, snap a tie rod, and do some serious damage to the car. If you are trying to make your pile of fuck seem cooler by driving on a lawn that was freshly cut by a migrant Mexican worker, then you are failing big time.

Now the remark about my mom being on crack......Really? is that the best you got? I don't know if you have been living under a rock for the last 23 years or what your damage is, however Momma jokes went the way of the dodo bird when "in Living Color" went off the air....you need this:

I could be wrong but it looked like a "mountable curb". Which as the name implies, is designed to be driven over, so not exactly impressive.

The parking lot you painted looks nice!

I don't get how its easier to mask a taillight than it is to remove it.

You gotta wonder what the neighbors with the boats and BMWs think about having this shit show in their lot.

[2006wrxtr]

Those boat and the BMW haven't moved in over a year.
But yeah my bad on the parking spot, I didn't think there
was that much over spray.

Yeah we don't have curbs like yours up there, not quite mountable but close.
I have most of the car done to 1000 grit, and am going to spray it with Matt
Clear this weekend. Won't be show quality but will look alot better than these pics.

Thnaks for all the input.

Yeah I don't get why people just leave there boats sitting out, at the mercy of the elements. And when I moved to this part of the complex the designated
trailer and boat parking area was on the other side of the property.
I am going to let this paint cure for a week or two color sand it and shoot it with clear. I painted it Satin Black this time.
But hey it's been a learning experience and even some of the rude, snide, and just mean comments have been somewhat
helpful
On another note, the Cavalier we bought for my 17yr old sons B-day. Only mod he wants is speakers.... Bought it from a guy that is moving back to France
so got a pretty good deal on it...

I don't get why you people care so much what he does to his car? I've been following this thread for a while and what the fuck. Some of you need to get a fucking life.

Some clearly are trying to troll him....

I mean, I think it's silly what he's doing...but really don't care. Actually, the more bizarre it is, the "cooler" I think it is. I mean, the thing is a piece of crap, why not have it look different, even if different is pretty bad? It's harmless....

And in a weird way, I admire the workmanship and effort...clearly a lot of thought and effort is going into this.

It's not something I'd do to a car...but then my taste in and approach to vehicles isn't exactly commonplace either.

[Nix]

It's not something I'd do to a car...but then my taste in and approach to vehicles isn't exactly commonplace either.

Another prime example of "to each, their own" everyone has their own personal taste is the plastdip that pnad did to his vette. Some people liked it (including myself) & some didn't. But he didn't get chastised for what he chose to do to his own car. He got some criticism but not nearly the copious amount that you've received.

Some people on this site have always been that way but a lot of it is in good fun. And then their are some people who criticize the shit out of people who do whatever it is to their car. I remember when I got pulled over and got a 10 fix it ticket for the blue fog lights I had on my car. I made a post asking for anybody's help on if it was legal and so on. Anyhow the vast majority of the responses were telling me that it was a terrible idea, it looks too shitty ricey, I'm fucking stupid for doing it, those are just a small sample. and any other insults that you could come up with. All that was dished out and I crucified for something so petty that I did to my junk by choice. I found out the hard way that indeed it was illegal, and life marches on. My point is, that a lot of people will make a shit storm if it isn't to their liking. Hell I'll be the fist one to admit if I run across a turd I saw on CL and do the same. But once people start with personal attacks and constantly name calling etc... then it's gone a bit too far.

Obviously not everyone has the same taste but the ganging up that happens from time to time typically goes too far. I've had it done to me & I've done it to others but cut him some slack It's his pile of fuck to do whatever he wants.

Now I know it will most likely take a boatload of criticism for saying all this. Whether it's a retort made publicly or privately. It's just my opinion based on all that I've seen on this site since I joined over 8 years ago. I know there are other forums out there that operate the same as BCM. However out of the handful of forums I'm on or troll this one by far is the harshest in many ways and their is typically a circle of friends on here that stick together that dole out criticism or epic proportions.

Like I said I'm guilty but too many people on here take it too far on a regular basis.

Alright, whoever is ready to criticise me for making a observation and posting it, fire away. But chances are I won't have a retort because I know it would be a lost cause.

As for my opinion of the "work" you've done to your ride, yuck. But I give you credit for your effort. I also give you a ton of credit for taking the bashing and rollin with the punches for the most part. People always say you need super thick skin to be a member on this site and it's absolutely the truth. You also need to be able to take a joke. And the most important thing to know about this site is you need to take what some say with a grain of salt.

Boo hoo! This guy got off easy as far as I'm concerned.

He can do whatever he wants to his car. If he or anyone else, including myself, creates a "look at me" thread, it's naive to think that you aren't going to get the good with the bad. Take the lame off road video for instance, there is all kinds of material there.

Nobody made any comments about his wife when he posted up what I am assuming is their wedding picture. She would have been fair game on some of the larger, global boards.

Ok so after many hours of priming, sanding, priming, sanding I have come to the conclusion maybe I am not very good at this body work thing.
But here is my final product. Still need to wet sand it, or I may shoot another coat of clear and the wet sand. Going to let it all cure for a week
or two and then see what I want to do.

that I can't even tell was there any more.
Tried to get a couple pics of what the color really looks like

Yeah, they weren't really dents just some dings. I hammer and doolied the ones I could get to and then a thin coat of filler

next time more filler, and use a long sanding block to get that smoothed out.

The finish does have some texture to it but some wet sanding with 2000 grit takes it right out.
I plan on doing another couple coats of clear and then wet sand it..

[Gregor]

There is no way in hell wet sanding will take out that "bedliner" texture. At least how it looks in the photos. It looks as smooth as my concrete driveway.


And how did you spray the clear? Rattlecan? Spray can clear wont build up a enough of a mill thickness to wet sand unless you dump a dozen or so coats.

my thoughts as well. You're going to need a lot more aggressive sand paper for that to smooth out, and by the time you get it smooth, you will be down to paint.

Spray can clear wont build up a enough of a mill thickness to wet sand unless you dump a dozen or so coats.

Not true.

[2006wrxtr]

I sanded down all the bedliner with 80 grit, primered the whole car and hit it with 120 grit, primered it again and hit it with 320 grit.
And I sprayed the paint and clear with my Wagner Power Sprayer, the finish is not as rough as the camera makes it look...

[Gregor]

ok the "wagner spray gun" explains the texture. Those are good for fences and not automotive applications.


I would sand it down to factory paint remove as much parts off the body and send it off to a one day sprayer like Maaco.

The texture is in the clear, I think it is because of the Humidity and Heat. It was about 95* with 90% humidity when I shot the clear.
There is a Macco right across the street from my wharehouse and my company services there uniforms. After I get done expirementing
I may take your suggestion.

Plasti Dipped the under hood bits. This is a pic in the middle of the process.

Are you sick?

Are you sick?

We already know the answer to this question. Long before this thread.

[-stew-]

Are you sick?

Nope. Just realized that since I'm on day ten of my own personal turd revitalization project, I'm prolly not in any position to criticise the projects or work quality of anyone else. That said, I gotta get back to work, these turds don't polish themselves!

A boring day turned into expirementation with plasti dip.
The hood graphic didn't quite work I think it dried to much
before peeling the mask. I tinted the headlights, Taillights,
Rear windows, and did a plasti dip sun shade on the windshield
and rear window..

[michelle]

Is that a warning label because of all the different spray paint and chemicals you have used on that car?

[Prince Valiant]

It actually does look better :/

One thing I will say is this...with the tigershark vinyls on, it'll probably look like a car version of an A-10 warthog...for good or bad, lol.

[2006wrxtr]

toying with graphics ideas. I did this in plasti-dip so it will peel right off

Is it just me or is that not symetrical on the sides of the mouth?

[2006wrxtr]

NOOOOOO!!!!

Yeah it does look a bit lopsided. If I decide to do it, I would do it with plasti dip
so removal would be easy..

You're way ahead of the game if you take the flag off the quarter panels and just leave it grey. If you try making your car look like a ww2 plane people will look at you like you're an asshole and treat you as such.

Holy fuck balls

Exactly what I was thinking....

[Prince Valiant]

honestly, lose the shark mouth/eyes, paint it the flat grey with the rear stripes/skulls (as is there now), along with a couple black markings and skulls and bones, and it'd look halfway decent. Maybe do the 40's fighter style WWII painting/girl on the rear portion of the front fender...but small so as to keep it tasteful.

THAT might actually be unique *and* non-horrendous at the same time.

haha this thread is awesome.

[GHOSST]

Ok, there is one thing about doing what you want to your own car, that is fine. But this is just crazy. Either you have the attention span of a 1 year old when it comes to how your car looks, or your just starving for attention from someone or something.

Your on a whole new level of troll. Meaning your doing this to show people in real life daily how ridiculous you can be, not just us feeding you on the forums..

All I'm wondering is, who pissed you off? Whats making you do this? Who are YOU trying to piss off? No one does this for the hell of it.. well maybe..
