Livvakt Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hey all,While at the Pick 'N' Pull this weekend with Bill, Reid, and Trey, I managed to score some mirror caps that were in pretty awesome condition all things considered (thanks for the help popping them off the mirror housings, Trey ) for $4.00 for both.I've been meaning to get a second set to try to do some fun paint ideas, but I'm curious if anyone here has any cool concepts. I've tossed around the idea of a ska-styled checkerboard, which has been done before. Also considering maybe doing Swedish flags? Who knows. I'm also not opposed to the idea of contrasting colors ala Swededemon. Depending on the idea, might try to incorporate the mirror pattern into/onto the engine cover, just for some fun continuity... Or not, who knows So? Thoughts? Anything I'm not thinking of that could be kinda cool? Lemme know :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 850 was MINT (it came in the day before I got there). I bought a hood off that car for $50 and had it repainted for $400 (+ blending for my fenders) after I screwed mine up.Got your PM man. Let's definitely do a car day one of tehse days. I need to clean my garage a bit first, it's a mess and can only fit 1.5 cars for now, lol.

Livvakt Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm starting to think about options for just colors... some sort of contrast that'd maybe look cool... White? Eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livvakt Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Chrome like the audisI was thinking about that... Either chrome or Silver (to match the wheels)... Would chrome clash too much with silver wheels? No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmartinlsmith Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I vote for DICKS!or how about nudie pictures?? that would be HOTT!!hey can I get your old caps when you pull em off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livvakt Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I vote for DICKS!or how about nudie pictures?? that would be HOTT!!hey can I get your old caps when you pull em off..Sorry buddy, I'm keeping the black. The reason I hadn't done any painting, etc. yet was because I wanted to be able to swap back to stock whenever the urge hit me.No to dicks, , but the idea of Pin-Ups could be kinda cool if done correctly...Sorta in that style, but in a pose/position more suitable for the mirrors...

RBoy8 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Glow in the dark .That's what'd I do.... but I've got a red car so it'd be easier to find glow in the dark red paint that'd somewhat match my car lol. Can't really find glow in the dark black .What about camo or checkers like on that silver S40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
