you should really paint your kits man...

Touch Up Paint from PaintScratch.com

I've used them before, and good price and good quality PPG paint in a can!

and when they say it's a 18oz spray can, they mean it's 18oz. not off the shelf 18oz' that has 12oz's.

Love their clear coat too.

[Irresistible]

Does that website have little touch up pens? I have some chips from when a shopping cart hit my car...

[mad-ass]

yes they do

if you want a flat color, look into Kustom Flatz

Hot Rod Flatz


^I've seen that car in person and the owner of the car told me he had the car painted like that for 3 years now with just normal care, multiple so-cal to nor-cal trips, blah blah..holding up strong still. I just thought it was cool to see a widebody STi with shaved door handles.

Or if you are being cheap and using a spray paint cans off the shelf, use semi-gloss! not flat.

if you paint with flat paint, it's much harder to get even coverage to hide all the over laps and "spreaks", but with semi-gloss, it's much easier to get smooth even finish.

Haha, flat color is cool and all... but definitely keep it strictly for hot rods. Unless of course... YOU ARE HELMSTARR



P.S. qwerth your zenki is too rad man. So cool seeing from when it was stock to now! Definitely need some more pics of it

Diggin this.

Anyone that's running Stance GR+ coils, what's the most camber you can get out of them up front without having to slot the brackets? Mine are maxed, but I haven't gotten an alignment to check what the camber is.

[mad-ass]

and just for your reference, if you take your time and actually prep everything, off the shelf spray paint can come out super nice.







Crap phone pics, but you get the idea. the black car's kit is spray painted, purple car's kit is 2 stage paint that's 2+ yrs old.

I used to have cool looking cars...man on man.

I've got a decent gun for spraying and no, it's not Harbor Freight haha. All I really have to worry about is the weather and surroundings in the garage for spraying... On another note, you and a few other zenkis REALLY make me regret not ordering LN1 paint... Such a beautiful color.

I may give the spray stuff a shot on some of my spare aero. While I save up for a good paint gun to actually paint stuff. Sometimes I wish I painted my car a simple color so that I could easily spray paint match everything...

when I had the Stance's...

I had -3.5 camber and the strut was little past center alignment point towards to center of the car. I also have 7 degree's of caster.

it made the wheels fit really nice, wasn't really nice on the tires.

^after about 5500 miles of it being on the front, lots of HW miles.

Do you get a lot of water inside your bay with the opening?

That wear seems a lot worse than it should be... I have 225/45/17 all around, on the same size/offet RPF1's as you have pictured there. But I want to have more front camber to increase contact at full lock. AND because it looks cool.

You'll regret it when you see how shitty they light up the road.

I hope you have night vision.
