Kuwahara ET - Paint code and who can paint it for me?

[58 delray]

Hi, I'm a newbie here- this my first post. I'm getting a Tange hot heart f and f off of my long suffering Mrs tomorrow and i want to get her dressed as an E.T. - the frame, not the Mrs. I read this thread and while a few names were mentioned it doesn't seem anyone really stuck their hand up. Is there anyone currently doing this kind of paint work and how much should I expect to pay?

Merry Christmas

please don't drill the gusset out

its a peugeot colour called rouge lucifer (EKQ) thats as near as it can possibly get, i've painted several of these in this colour and it looks bang on....    

Are you really sure Neil used to use Diablo red ,Sam

The Peugeot colour doesn't look bright red enough on cars (306's) in the flesh to me

but having said that seeing photos of the ones Neil has done for people , they look just right  

Only doubting , because Glynnyboy says everybody's are too dark and not red enough ( he had the original finish on his, before repainting )

I know Ian Bodamus also  has an original survivor , get him to hold a can of Diablo red ( Rouge Lucifer) next to his frame   to confirm

If I start doubting mine I'll have get it re-done something else like Vauxhall Viva vagina lips red  

I've got some spare decals just incase

The difficulty is that under different light the red always looks different. Its very hard to judge looking at photos then rattle can caps to see what looks the same, it may look bang on then as soon as you spray (if outside) its wrong. Take the frame indoors & it looks right  

Heres another of mine taken in the shade outside & its looks nice & deep



Though here taken at the same time, in the same light, same camera it looks lighter



Edit to say this is a Mk1 chopper I sprayed in Diablo red, a tester to see if its right for an ET, its quite dark in certain light,


 

[hunterdubber]

Yes , your so right Splodge

That 2nd pic is the colour/shade I'd say Glynny  regards as being correct ,

but again it's a down to the light as it can also look alot darker too, like in the old adverts

Did you use Diablo red/Rouge Lucifer on the E.T then ?

No I didnt!

I did the Kuw about 3 years ago then found out rogue lucifer is the closest colour, I used a rattle can from Motorman



Im still wondering wether to strip & try rogue lucifer & so I tried the Chopper to see what its like, that was last year.

Geeks... 

[mattuknc]

I used the peugeot/ citreon red too on this one. 

[Dark Diggler]

I reckon brown is a more appropriate colour

Well check these paints out 

number 2 ( pardon the pun ) is a good choice
