Painting my two tone Satellite Vibe soon

BartlesvilleVIBE_03 · Post by **BartlesvilleVIBE_03** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 5:29 am

Just the other day I decided to take off all my cladding (rhino skin). I am taking it to a local place in town to get it all painted satellite. I will finally have what I've always wanted, a monotone VIBE. Once I get it all finished I will be sure to post some pics of before, during, and after photos. This car inspired me.

Lucky! I've been trying to do this for the last 3 years. Something ALWAYS happens that prevents me from dong it. Got laid-off and didn't have the money. Got a great deal on the s/c so spent the money on it. This year the tranny used up all my Vibe funds.I envy you dude! It's gonna look sweet!

Man, if you're gonna go through all that trouble, I'm thinking "paint it a different color!" LOL! But I always wanted to see a true 2-tone Vibe with painted lower cladding, similar to what the Voltz had, that's pretty spiffy. But monotone can be pretty alright too.Good luck with it! Keep us posted on how it turns out.

Everybody is right this site will reduce your bank account. I have decided to get my cladding painted but i am going with w true two tone. Main color abyss lower gunmetal grey or maybe something like that, i have to do some photo shop to see what i like.

BartlesvilleVIBE_03 · Thu Jul 13, 2006 12:05 am

Great idea. I thought about doing that. Because my wheels are gunmetal w/ chrome lip. Good luck.~Kevin

Im tellin ya it does!!! just look at my warning in my sig.

Fincloser · Post by **Fincloser** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 12:11 am

Kevin what kind of wheels do you have. I have been looking for gunmetal with a chrome lip in 18"

Fincloser · Post by **Fincloser** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 12:13 am

lol yes it does. Doesnt help that i work next door to the body shop (removed).

Fincloser · Post by **Fincloser** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 5:46 am

according to the body shop they cannot paint the rhino skin on the two-tone vibe because the paint wont last. they say the plastic wont hold the primer. Anybody had any luck?

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 6:14 am

but the monotone vibes (like mine) have the bumpy feel to them like the two tones... so i dont know what they did.

DrifZ gunmetal w/ luster lip (chrome).And about the primer adhearing to plastic: There is a product out there called "Plastique". You spray this on first, then primer/bondo, prime again, and then last: paint color, clear. They can get it super smooth, just takes work.~Kevin

OK I work for a body shop supply store and as for the guy that told that b/s (wrong). You can paint plastic as long as you put an adhision promoter on. Klean Strip has a product called Bull Dog adhision promoter and there is also another product called SEM that also has an adhision promoter. Both of them work really good as long as you fallow instruction's and prep them real good, so you can get your plastic done and get it painted any color you like with no problem's. If anybody has any question's regarding automotive painting please dont hesitate to ask.. nuvibe

Nothin a little sanding can't fix.

nuvibe · Post by **nuvibe** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 6:59 am

Sanding will help and also SEM make's a flexible primer and that mite help fill the texure to, if there's a will there's a way... nuvibe
