new pics of brp 2.5rs w/gold powdercoated wheels

skeptik · 03-14-2001, 08:13 AM

for those that asked for pics... updated
wheels were powdercoated at electro tech in san marcos, ca for $75 per wheel. needed to do two coats - the gold color is an epoxy resin which will fade, so a second polyurethane clear coat is required. one day turnaround. pictures captured from my camcorder don't do the wheels justice - need to talk to digital boy this weekend about snapping a few with his digicam...

Ya know, Mark, each time I see your car I feel some regret that I bought a coupe rather than a sedan.

Oh, I gotta wash my car soon (finally beautiful forecast in SD!) so I can park beside you in your pics

imprez me -
the color is "sungold" and it's applied as a resin powder, not a paint. lots of good info here.

long -
ya know, when i bought the sedan, i kinda liked the understated tail, but now, i'm thinkin' i need something a little more aggressive, like...a coupe wing. so, if you want that sedan look - we could just swap wings, okay? what do you think?

j/k!

see ya at the Q -
