Re: painting typhoon
The only problem with filling the seams at the pillars is they are there for a reason they are expansion joints just like in your drive way yes your body moves in the heat or cold On a ty you have larger panels moving around so you might encounter problems down the road

Re: painting typhoon
Well I am still working on the typhoon. The main reason I was doing the paint job was I had problems after about 3k miles of new engine. I thought it was the stock turbo that was making some grinding noise and loss of oil pressure because there was no knocking. Nope of course the motor was screwed.:rant: After taking the motor out and apart the mains were toast. So since I had to take the motor out I decided to change the color and make the engine stronger. The new color looks sick, you guys have to see it in person. I got more pics that I have been taking and finely found the cable to download the pics off the camera.
engine removed

The reason you see two different colors is because the silver is a base color and the blue is dye that goes on top.
my painter doing the shocker
engine in truck
truck finely running
Does anyone have any idea what this is? I was thinking it might be lojack because its not stock.

That would look good too, but if it were mine I would go all the same color. I just think it looks better personally.

Re: painting typhoon
Kind off the topic but I was just looking at you I/C mount there ant it looks like you have removed the lower part of the hood latch support all together and the I/C it's self is know the support or "stressed member" so to speak. Is that correct and if so does it bother anything not having the grill support monted like it was stock to the latch support?
Back to your regularly scheduled thread!
I think I really like that color :tup: . What is it?

Re: painting typhoon
Yeah you are correct. I also had to remove the center support on the core support. So far the grill mounts like it did before without the center mounts. When I paint the grill I'll take some pics.
The paint looks great. Its call true blue which is Hot Hues Candy color. It sucks cause I really like the color, but change my mind on color. I did want to take a chance on have someone keying my truck again and having to repaint the whole truck because you can't match this paint. The new color looks great also which is blue off the new M3's. I'll post some pics.
