Re: 92 Ebony .. just back from ..
Pics should be coming soon.
Dave and I went out last night for picture-taking in Vancouver, and he made me pose (the 92, that is). Dang, his 97 Laguna Blue is G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. |

Re: 92 Ebony .. just back from ..
Thinking of getting my rear bumper painted . Maybe re clear coat the roof and paint center section of CF hood. I got a buddy that is good with a gun. May buy him a six pack <LOL>

Yeah, I had that option, too. Go for it if that's what you want ! |

Re: 92 Ebony .. just back from ..
OK... I've held you in suspense long enough!! Actually I would have had the pics up last night but I had a very rare internet outage. Usually my connection is great.
Anyway. I can't post all of the photos here so here is the link to the rest: http://gallery.me.com/mdhmedia#100177 Here is a proud Obewan in his newly painted Ebony Mica:

Re: 92 Ebony .. just back from ..
I had a fender painted on an Audi last month and I was told 30 days. You can take picks before and after the wax!!

Re: 92 Ebony .. just back from ..
The guy restores cars . He did a great job on his 1936 Ford and on his sons 1964 Buick Riviera... I figure just a rear bumper and a hood. If I was going for the total car I know a few GREAT body shops .just kiding about a 6 pack . I am sure we would take a few 100

Re: 92 Ebony .. just back from ..
VERY nice !! And Black is not the easiest color to paint . Great body work. after it is waxed It will look even deeper.

Re: 92 Ebony .. just back from ..
I have heard that black or very dark can be harder to paint. For what it's worth, the 92 above is not black, but Ebony Mica (335, I think) .. which is a very very deep dark metal-flake red/brown/black. The sparkly deep red/brown/black is clearly visible in certain angles of sunlight, and that's what I am hoping to bring out and refine with careful and rigorous waxing.

Re: 92 Ebony .. just back from ..
well back in the day, we would rub out the whole car with a slightly abrasive compound ... sort of like polishing compound . I believe it was called " Liquid Ebony" then we would polish it, then Wax it .

Re: 92 Ebony .. just back from ..
Very nice fresh look. I like the wheels and front grill on the blue one; but on your batmobile, I like the spoiler and that you've retained the original badge-less look. Enjoy you "new" ride!

Re: 92 Ebony .. just back from ..
Confused with #1 badge-less look #2 spoiler or lack of on the batmobile and #3 wheels on the blue one ?Are they not the same on both cars(stock ) ? .

Re: 92 Ebony .. just back from ..
Don't know what's meant by reference to badges .. I don't have any on the Ebony 92.
Yes, both cars in Dave's gallery are stock, but I took my spoiler off (the 92) and had the rear deck refinished. Dave's Laguna Blue is a 97. |

The wheels on the Blue '97 are stock as are the ones on the '92 but the later years were painted a lighter silver and the earlier years were the darker gunmetal. I'm not sure what year it changed, might just be '96 and '97 or just '97. I have no external modifications on the Blue so what you see is stock.
