'Lost Birds' R33 GT-R - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

#09 · 30th January 2010, 05:52 AM

I figured I'd move this part of the work up to the gallery vice the Garage section, since there really isn't any tinkering involved with this. "Paint job" is being done by Allison La Valley of Lost Birds Art Studio. I did maybe 5% at this point. I draw to slow/don't have good ideas.
I had some cellphone shots up, but this is better I believe. A little rough around the edges... be kind! haha
Much better pictures of the work so far.
Passenger Side Skirt

Driver Sideskirt Started

mirrors

Rear

Front

The work goes on. Gotta do the rest of the body, then Touch ups here and there needed and eventually a final/thicker clearcoating. Then I will have my 'Time Attack' Paint Scheme finished. Officially titled the "Lost Birds" GTR. When Japanese say it it's Rosto Birdseh GTR. haha

What the hell is she doing with her elbow!? Urgh!

I like this car though very different

Great stuff mate, would love to see this thing for real.

By the way but a big amount of clear lacker on this, or the black will look yellow after a year.

Keep it coming.

good info! I went over the finished parts once, and once the whole car is done I was planning on doing the entire car in clear coat again, it should be staying out of the sun for the most part too, except for races
