This car customising place is in Rayong, head out of Rayong towards Chanthaburi and you can't miss it, it's called Blues Aeropart Project Rayong, phone 086 3768306-7.

This car wasn't actually the car I was interested in, but as I have to sort out which pictures to use still for the other car I shall start with this one, the other one had a fantastic paint job that changed colors as you walked round it, bit hard to show that in the pictures so I took loads of them.

Not sure if I like these kind of doors but you could have fun parking right up close to other people in car parks so they can't get into their cars, which is what they do to me with my car the gits, they don't seem to take into consideration how low your car is and how thick your doors maybe, and it aint easy climbing in thru the passenger door and over the console and all that.

Got to admit when I first saw this car I thought the skirts would be ripped off pretty quick, hell I didn't no they had hydrulic lifter thingys.

The sound system inside has about 20 speakers attached to it, sort of spices up your boring everyday toyota don't it.

The hydraulic gear and batteries to lift the car up.

Talk about all show, no go! All that extra weight would seriously tax what is already a pretty asthmatic engine.

This car was really hard to take photos of, as you moved nearer or around it, it changes color, not sure how good these pictures show the colors, but it was red, gold and green depending how you looked at it, no idea how they do this type of spray job.

blackgang · 04-09-2007, 07:09 PM

There was a limo that has that paint job in the link I posted in the classic cars in Thailand thread, never saw one for real tho.

AntRobertson · 04-09-2007, 07:12 PM

^^

It's pretty interesting, not really my cup of tea though. Those pics you took do a great job of showing it I think.

I'd imagine it's all powered by magic of some kind. Fairies no doubt!

dirtydog · 04-09-2007, 07:24 PM

I actually asked one of the workers what color they had it listed as in the registration documents as they are quite strict on listing the color correctly, he didn't know though

My car needs a bit of a blow over as it's getting quite old now, think thats the sort of thing I want done to it, just not those colors though.

jaiyenyen · 05-09-2007, 08:27 PM

I'ts called 'flip paint'. please dont ask me how it's done though. And i hate to think how hard it is to touch up.

Been around for many years probably about 20 years.
I thought it was called Chameleon paint but maybe Flip is the same thing in seppo speak.

You have to spray the car black first and then just a normal coat using chameleon/flip paint and then a clear top coat

Take a look at Xposures paint as well.
It changes colour with temperature. Your whole car will be a different colour at night.

dirtydog · 07-09-2007, 05:52 PM

A few more pictures of the special paint job car.

Tinted windows and locked doors make it hard to get a picture, but this car has a sound system in it.

peterpan · 07-09-2007, 06:19 PM

Saw one in Udon today with same colour, It was one of those people carrier things, what are they called ? MPV's or summit, looked fvckin stupid really.

My car has that too (changing colour from green to blue) so i think itis quite ordinary. Have no idea though because I bought the used car like that.

Thetyim · 10-09-2007, 02:07 PM

DD, the paint is something like 300 USD a pint.

You might want to try this instead

jizzybloke · 13-09-2007, 11:47 PM

I've always known it to be called candy, start off black then lots of coats of other colours and a final laquer.
As for a touch-up u can't! not to look decent anyway, the whole car needs to be done again.

what's that all about ?

Wayne Kerr · 14-09-2007, 12:07 AM

Customised cars and sound systems are coolio, but the think that pisses me off are personalised plates - funny vid here - YouTube - The Chaser - Wanker Number Plates

dirtydog · 16-09-2007, 02:44 AM

Ok we got a nice little video of some Thai drag racing event with the special paint job on one of the cars, now this is sexy.

Fabian · 16-09-2007, 03:55 AM

Looks quite good, the Nissan cefiro's paintjob, but the thing on the back is very ugly.

jaiyenyen · 16-09-2007, 10:45 AM

There is now a purpose built Drag strip in Bangkok at Rangsit, khlong five, called Bangkok Drag Avenue. They hold events every Saturday 2pm-2am. Lots of cars, noise and burning rubber.
Also, car drifting 1st saturday of the month, behind Seacon Square in Bangkok, another good afternoon out if you like fast cars.
