13BT_KE20 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 RAT ROD RAT ROD! Overdone. It's cool to drag a 70 year old car out of a paddock and stick a motor in and drive it, body untouched, but the commodore is a joke. I'm a huge fan of rat rods, but they are far more than a rusty old body. People sent thousands doing up a car to that style, underneath they are usually in better mechanical condition than most older cars. The outside "rust" is only surface rust which is carefully monitored. Beemer looks sweet, commy is a joke! Quote
Felix Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Beemer looks sweet, commy is a joke! Agree totally! I think it is funny the guys who are freaking out about rust when it is faux patina. :P The ratrodding crowd have been doing it for years. Edited May 28, 2009 by Felix Quote

Felix Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Flat black E32. :P It would look better in satin black. Edited May 28, 2009 by Felix Quote
philbey Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 The flat black thing has been done to death as well though. again, another rod style permeating through car worldwide. Quote
Felix Posted May 30, 2009 Author Report Posted May 30, 2009 The flat black thing has been done to death as well though. Definitely. The E32 is a little bit different as you don't see them everyday like flat black ke70's. Quote
irokin Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 Flat black done well is still a beautiful thing. Flat black done with spray cans from super cheap has been done to death and has never looked good. Quote
philbey Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 Yeh, that's it exactly..... I do like a good gloss black paintjob with a flattened clear on it too. has much more depth to it. Quote
1988ae82rolla Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 you can simply buy a rust effect 2 part paint, paint on one lot (has minute little iran particles) then paint on the other part (chloring based from memory) and you have a rust effect. actually, I saw a bloke with a new trend yesterday on the F3. goldy coloured KE70 with white wheels and a white bonnet! first thought was it was a spare bonnet after the other was rusty or something, but then I thought well, it matched the wheels? forsale sign on the back window said worked 4age, tonnes of spares etc etc. wasnt a bad looking car apart from the bonnet. (has minute little iran particles) fkn taliban are in our paint too :rolla: Quote
