Snowdog's Riv

Subject: Re: Snowdog's Riv Sat Oct 10, 2009 12:00 pm

That paint looks very "Bright" or "Loud" in that cup. I thought you were going to use a paint that was a bit less bright.
Similar to your current color. I know you said you couldn't get the pearl you wanted but that color just doesn't seem right for a Riviera.
After it is sprayed on will it look a little different than that or is that what the final paint job will look like.??

erm...that was the flakes rick.
they are just tiny flakes what go on the paint whit gloss.
the paint itself is same or allmost same what i had.
its dificult to see from picture...but i just opened the bucket...it looks like that...i did not mix it yet.

OH, that's much better looking. The other color looked like the Riv would be a pimp mobile. If you know what i mean.
Also, check your mailbox for a PM.

yeh...and like i sayed i like things look more factory...a riv is more a Luxury car not a damn christmas tree. just makes me sad when someone has painted it pink/orange or somethign odd..and but 24''+++ wheels under it.
if you want a truck then get one...dont build one of a Riv...

it just needs small changes but same time keeping the factory lines and it can be perfect.
but anyways...people are diferent and beauty is only in the watchers eyes...

Timo,
On page 12 of this thread I see you made an airbox for your cone filter.
Could you take some close up pictures of what you made when you get the time.
I'm interested in seeing how your keeping the hot engine compartment air out of the filter.
Thanks.

Just think, you will have the best looking Riv in the whole region!

Are you thinking about any customization other than the tips?

Like maybe some real faint "ghost flames"?

I cant wait for some pics....
