hmmm...I wonder if the mirror covers painted DSG would look out of place? hmmm....


btw....I wish I had this sort of working place. Hey Scott, got an extra room? Take me on as your apprentice? hmmm?

 

jebus that is freaking beautiful man! Wonder how mine would look as the inverse of that, DSG with black...

 

Looks kick @ss man!!

I vote for the skull caps on the mirrors to be painted DSG as well..

 

very nice, makes me want a two tone now

 

I'll agree with ya on the clearcoat, mine was the same way after it was repainted. looks better than factory too!

funny I wanna do the opposite colors (black on a DSG truck) haha

 

it looks great man..I was going to do the same on my truck but its overplayed..i want different but not to hold anything back..its nice!

 

By over played do you mean the small crowd on the internet? cant say Ive ever seen that paint job in person.

 

handful of car shows..yes locally...

 

pic #3 i like best! DSG goes with all :) hah

 

looks wicked! i'm going to have to do this to my truck... only other option might be black on hood, and change bumpers and rockers to black also...

 

I like the DSG mirror cap idea...

 

soo.. friggin' nice.

 

Thanks all. I like it too. I washed it today too. It rocks now that the whole truck is clean. woot!

 

looks awesome dude, i was gonna do this awhile back but i think i would have wanted a lil darker in color, now im thinkin bout doin it in satin black

 

here is a p-shop of my truck coug did for me a while ago... i think i'm going to get mine done this week... the hood is getting painted either way, so i have to out of pocket the extra labour... not a big deal really...

 

^^^^
I would do the grille at the same time...

 

Yeah, do the grille too.

 

i've got an STX grill going on, and the suround will be painted for sure

 

Yeah the grille done as well would be awesome. it will look awesome.

 

talked to the body shop today, they still haven't started work on my truck... they have had it since monday morning... waiting for a phone call to tell me how much the 2 tone will cost, labour wize...

found out they only use waterbased paint at bodyshops here... interesting eh? poly/oil/solvent is illegal for body shop use in my province, other than clearcoat

 

primers and clearcoats are still solvent products. only the basecoat has changed and some of the degreasers. All of Canada flipped to that rule just recently. You guys are pretty much in the same style of rules that we have in most of California. The paint works and it will be fine. For what its worth, the DSG that was on my hood was waterborne basecoat. No problems with it other than it didnt avoid a wreck lol.

(paint geek here) what brand of paint to they use?

 

i'm not too worried about how it will work... not sure what brand they use though...

i think the new laws for both enviro and worker's comp up here, say your solvent cleaners (tanks/washer stations) are supposed to have a baking soda/water solution, and i think varsol is actually illegal up here now...

 

hey, check this out! :D



interesting to find out my hood has already been this colour...

 

^^ now u need DSG Flares!

 

maybe... we will see how it all looks. i'm thinking the little bit of bare plastic might look good... it's all contrast right? just a small accent
