I originally tried to restore the original finish on the C14s, without any luck. Resorted to sandblasting and found some Hellrot laying around. Painting outside wasn't ideal, but I was pretty pleased with the results. It was exhausting - I wasn't as enthused during clean-up time.

 

And mounted on the car...

 

What did you use as a primer?

Also, what size wheels and tires are those?

 

NOW that's nice.
looks like .2RS in black/gray.
dave is probably kicking himself selling it to you now ;-)

 

No primer. You couldn't ask for a better surface after sandblasting with #80. Painted with 1-stage PPG paint. 50/50 paint/hardener mix with a splash of reducer and accelerator. Wheels are 18x9,11 with 245/40, 315/30 Nitto NT-01s.

 

Looks serious. Nice work.

 

Cool, now they match your 4deg. shims

 

Looks GREAT!!

 

Hilarious shot of the bug dying a sloooooooooow stiiiiiiiiiiicky death...

 

U need decals to match : ). Red side mirrors/ rs winglets in red. Get some front grills and paint them red : ). Mike

 

Yeah, I was talking about the winglets & mirrors in red with my buddy today. But that is such a permanent change. Don't know if I'm ready to be quite so red. These are track wheels anyhow.

 

SICK, wow I love it!!

 

Looks great! Perfect for track wheels

 

Great Job... Looks Good

 

Thx for posting. Please let us know how durable the paint is without primer for aluminum. A couple coats of wax before track duty will help get the brake dust/rubber off. Just watch your hands when buffing the wax on the C14 because some edges can be sharp.

Which PPG paint did you use? Omni? Concept?

Cheers,
