front fangs

JakeZ34 · 12-07-2009, 10:46 PM

personally I wouldn't take a spray can to my car at any cost. But I was recently involved in an accident so I told the body shop not to paint the fang area (copy Modshack hehe). But I believe the Evo-R is a stick on right? I never like stick on carbon fiber stuff, it makes it a bit thicker (I know I'm picky!) But yes the CF does look great too in the fang area.

Using spray paint on your car = epic facepalm.

Doing cheap appearance mods = rice (for asian cars), redneck/hick-mod for american cars (or trucks)

Simota did a nice job with his using spray. It's the quality of the paint and the quality of the guy applying the paint that counts.

I also would not call painting the fang area "rice". It's a subjective appearance mod, big deal, not like he put blue running lights on it or a fart can.

I think redneck is brush painted on.

sure, it'd be rice.

...if you painted it hot pink or something retarded.

Don't think it's rice at all because of appearance mods. I'd call it rice if he had those led tail lights on civics or a giant wing for no reason. Painting part of your car black isn't rice. Unless he painted the hood black with spray can.

Unless you can offer the man some help with his issue, such as tips to stop it from happening, then I'm sure you're just wasting his time and he would appreciate if you left his thread.

On topic: I would start by sanding it all down again. Any decently adhered paint will stay and the bad stuff should sand right off. Then after ensuring you have a good surface wipe it down with some mineral spirits to make sure the surface is clean and try again.
