btw, here is a pic of that exact color scheme

>>THIS IS NOT MY WORK>>

These photos were taken by my competitor on mr2oc and are shown only for the sake of displaying color.

the colors used here are mirror black and red. in the event i did this scheme, i would use super wet black and safety red which are much more radiant colors than those and of course the quality would speak for itself

griffy was talking about the center piece coated the same as the lettering. it can be done for an extra fee. this requires beaucoup amounts of work. here's a pic of one in silver vein and super wet black. the quality is crap and i only snapped the picture for the sake of seeing the color scheme. this particular valve cover has since been blasted and redone with more time and effort into it.

Death's gonna want as close to a blood red as possible on that VC lettering if he goes that route (which I agree he should)

That silver vein metallic lettering looks way cool too though. But if I know him a bit, he'll go red.

Monday bump, by the way!

You know me too well.
OK Jazzcoronet [I know I'm a PITA - I know] - what would it cost to get your GT4 VC done with just the Toyota in Red and the rest wet black like you said [nvm the center epice - thanks for the example] and just keep it - no trade out? In other words how much to keep the core?

$65 for the coating job and $50 for the core. so it would be $115 + shipping. i would say $13 for shipping (11lb VC pretty much always sees $13 shipping charges). so $128 out the door!

also, the high temp gloss black appears to match your intercooler piping perfectly if you wanted to get your heat shield coated as well. if you send that to me, i could feasibly do that for $40 extra (and i wont charge for retrun shipping either)

and one final note, here's a teaser of a service that we will offer soon. i haven't perfected it yet, but im working on it.

this particular color changes from gold to magenta depending on the way you look at it and the way the light hits it. it can only be applied over dark base coats......and yes, that is PLASTIC that i'm coating!!!!!!!!!

Oh damn that's cool. Can you do any other color to another?
And those prices are great.

red/blue
magenta/gold
green/silver
ice
geen/blue

Oh hell - well that throws a wrench into my thoughts. What are the chances you can do that Black->Red? And what would it cost to do my VC that way with a red "Toyota"?

Go amber illusion over super wet black - it'll be black underneath with red/shimmery gold on top. Tres hawt. Or even better - amber illusion over super wet black on the TOYOTA only, w/the rest super wet black. That way you keep your black theme but you get some shiny nifty sweet ass other stuff too. Can't really photoshop that one I don't think though, so don't ask. You'll have to trust me on this one!

#43

as a matter of fact, i just coated a valve cover today with that scheme. illusion aquamarine over super wet black. i didnt like it. then i decided to put another illusion amber topcoat on it. really didnt like that. i think your best bet for some pizazz would be super wet black w/ red prism additive and the lettering to remain in safety red. that's my vote

Hmmm... Death, you catchin' this?

DEATH

#45

Catchin up - you guys are the experts and Griffy has an amazing grasp for what I want out of it [she's the head of my art department

] - I'll let you guys figure it out for me and then I'll order [and since I will be buying the core it won't matter how quickly to me].
Jazzcoronet - one thing to keep in mind is that the Toyota logo on Celicas is backwards [why I can't figure considering we had the 3S-GTE several years before the MR2 did. My biggest concern is that I'm gonna pay this money and then due to it being black it will just make the motor look smaller and/or disappear into the background of the bay. Do you guys think I should reverse my thinking and go red cover Black letters?
BTW - If you get bored with helping me I'll understand. I am well aware of how picky I am but I'm working on a well round Show/Go/Audio car and I have to keep it all in my mind. But don't worry - if all else fails I'll just get it redone in the aluminum color it already is so you will make a profit off me. Sorry guys.

if you are going loud like that, why not go all out and get a pearlescent white with glow in the dark additive? or just straight up glow in the dark? perhaps, extreme chrome with red prism additive and glow in the dark additive? oooooh, i got it, super wet black lettering with silver additive, and the remainder in extreme chrome glow in the dark with red prism additive!!!!

Uh....... NO. Don't listen to him Death, he's using your indecision for evil and not good.

Don't reverse your thinking. I don't think you'll be happy with red cover/black lettering. Remember, the black is going to be super wet black, and while black definitely is uh, "slimming", it's shiny so it'll reflect light well and won't be as reducing as a matte black would be.

I need to go back a page and see your engine bay again. But I still think you'll be happiest with super wet black with red lettering.

Okay, I looked. Jazz, what kind of subtle illusion coating can we add on top of the black to keep it black but add some "shimmer" to it? Is there a metallic flake red that could be mixed into like a clear topcoat type of deal?

uh yeah ^^^^ did yo uread my last post? lol

we carry a red prism additive that is like a red glitter almost only extremely fine that we can add into the powder (actually i already have one mixed)

oh yeah, that. I knew that! Sorry I'm juggling a lot today!

For Death - super wet black w/red prism additive for the main part of the cover, safety red lettering. Anything else he sends should be super wet black w/red prism additive as well. No red accents on those though.

DEATH

You guys rock - thanks to both of you.
Man this is gonna look nice!

BTW - Griffy I think red is the color for yours but I've yet to see your SRI soooo.... [just my .02]
