Automotive Custom Painting

Ice-T’s Bentley GT

A car with a custom paint job is one of life’s true pleasures. It’s like being the kid with the best bike in the neighborhood or the biggest piece of birthday cake. Whether you drive a 64 Impala, a Bentley GT or a Lamborghini Murcielago, a great paint job will take your vehicle from ho-hum to head turner.

Actually creating a great custom paint job takes skill and finesse. Automotive painting is one of the most arduous and painstaking tasks in crafting an automobile. It can also be one of the most costly. If you are on a budget, there are options for you. Some paint shops can deliver a good paint job for a fair price. Your other option is to take on the task yourself. If the paint job is a success, you’ll have even more to brag about: a hot set of wheels AND a “do it yourself” tale to tell.

Achieving a great paint job is a step-by-step process. You simply can’t rush automotive painting. Follow the basic steps of preparation, primer application, blocking, final paint coat and detail application. This can seem like a daunting task for any beginner, but Continue Reading >>

The Alternative to Chrome Plating

There is a new technology taking the place of chrome plating with the ability to chrome metal as well as non-metal surfaces (plastic, fiberglass, wood, glass, virtually any surface).

Used in a wide range of industries chrome plating has become increasingly difficult in recent years. Regulations designed to protect against the safety and environmental hazards of hexavalent chrome have increased the cost of chrome plating and burdened facilities performing plating services. Conventional chrome plating has several limitations and cannot be used to chrome plate many surfaces. While industry downsizing and consolidation has led to the closure or offshore relocation of as many as half of the chrome plating shops in North America due to EPA regulations. Europe is ambivalent and Asia is largely unconcerned with regulating chrome plating pushing much of North America chrome plating overseas. The need has arisen for an alternative to chrome plating that does not have the environmental and safety issues of conventional chrome plating.

The Gemini Chrome System is one such custom coating alternative that offers a new and evolving technology based on chemical metalizing. Chemical metalizing uses a chemical process instead of an electrical process to attach metal to a substrate. One advantage is nonmetal as well as metal can be chrome plated (plastic, fiberglass, wood, virtually any surface). There is also more flexibility in the parts making for fewer failures due to flex. The added flexibility is due to the thinness of the coating. With conventional chrome plating the thickness of the different layers of metals applied does not allow for flexibility this can result in a failure of the part. The process does not use hexavalent chromium the main environmental problem of conventional chrome. Continue Reading >>

Fieldy’s 64 Impala on Fire

212 MPH Lamborghini

The NEW Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SV SuperVeloce had its debut at the Geneva Auto Show and after watching the video they presented we felt it was only fitting to label it HARD. With its 6.5-liter V12 tweaked to 670 horsepower engine it will devour concrete for breakfast and asphalt for lunch. The LP 670-4 SV model is loaded with super light weight materials all around and can go from 0-62mph in only 3.2 seconds and reach an incredible top speed of 212 mph.
The look of the car is more aggressive than its predecessor, with a more angular front fascia, hood vents near the A-pillars, gloss-black wheels, large rear bumper protrusions, and a choice of two rear wings.
