Well it was 2 o'clock in the morning here when you posted that last one, so don't expect a rush of replies too quickly. ;)

Clear enamel is what I sprayed the Skyline with, but I wouldn't recommend it and will probably not be using it alone anymore. Pure enamel is very soft, even after curing for days, and is not meant to be handled. I ended up with indentions all in the finish of that car by carrying it for a day in a foam cushioned case. :rolleyes:

I believe you can add hardner to enamel to make it more durable. You can also use acrylic clear which is very hard (durable) and dries fast, but I've heard someone say don't use acrylic, so I'm going to do some more research.

The tricky part about clear coating is getting the right amount on the car. It's hard to do from a spray can, because they spray so much. I used an airbrush and it still took me about 3 cars before I got the coverage just right. Too little and you end up with "Orange Peel". (finish is rough and wrinkled...looks like the surface of an orange) Too much and you get runs and too much thickness in dips and cracks, which doesn't look normal.

WOOOHOO!!! Another person with a SLAMMED RX-7. :D Nice job there killboy :)

This body is now officially my 'test' body (since I put two small cracks in it :() so I gotta buy another, but you've definitely inspired me to do a really good job on the next one. This one is gonna get gutted for more weight savings and become my drag body now. ;)

SWEET
 

That's definitly one of the best paint jobs ive seen. I just gotta go paint my rims black now. The lowered body really gives it a good look.

NorCalCoug: Lowered Body
 

Hey NorCalCoug,

NICE RX-7!!!!! :D :D :D

How did you lower the rear end like that?
Do you have a pic of the rear of the car?

Thanks!

I don't have a pic of the rear, but I just cut a slot for the chassis tab a little bit higher than the 'stock' slot for the tab. Dremel is your friend. ;)

how guys, the rx7s look GREAT! though mine isnt slammed, its lowered with a body kit.

Just picked up a Supra and NSX body today. Look for them slammed at a thread near you, coming soon. ;)

"Nurse, dremel."
