Casa de Mesa’s M3 color change from blue to blue

[caivs]

Hey thank you caivs! Really appreciate it. Color changing this was a leap of faith but so glad I did it!

I don't have an Insta account. I gave it up after I closed my small business a few years back. I'll see what I can do to get some new pics up here. I need to use my wife's big-boy DSLR to get some real pics of the car. Looking at a few pics on here they look very much like the camera phone pictures they are, ha!

No problem! Sounds good mate, looking forward to 'em!

My goodness, Casa de Mesa, I just read through this whole thread tonight. I was questioning repainting a Topaz blue car, but now that I've finished, just wow. It's gorgeous! Especially with the side-by-side LSB, your car just POPS. All the time and effort into cleaning the motor paid off too, beautiful work.

Hey liam821 gracias! I still have your pics on my phone from the dash removal on your Phoenix car, studying the removal before I dove in. I so appreciate this community, I would not have been able to do this without the knowledge on this forum. Amazing people, amazing cars, endless pool of talent.

Read through the whole build as somehow I hadn't seen it before. Insane level of work and even better results.

Hello mate, any updates on the car?

I somehow missed these posts and clearly it's been a bit since I've been back to this thread!

Appreciate that! I'm getting the itch to do something stupid like this again...

No updates on the car, just enjoying it and the Cayman. Took the Cayman to a few track events (it's pretty epic) and the M3 has been a fantastic rally/fun car. It rips! With all the weight taken out of the car, plus the performance mods (CSL intake, etc.) it's such a competent and fast car. Really loving it.

Vin_tra's recent vids has me wanting to find a cheap 360 and do this all over again. Not sure I have the cheddar for that kind of build though. I suspect Ferrari parts are a smidge more than BMW parts...

All that said... I never fully finished the interior with Alcantara headlinder, A/B/C pillars, etc. The interior is on the list of things to do, just have prioritized other projects above the M3 currently.
