Car in bodyshop for Painting - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #13156 10 posts Started by exxtractor
I'm psyched decided to get my entire car painted '94 Celica ST Coupe, and get factory sideskirts installed (found at salvage yard). Wasn't sure if I was going to stay with factory white, but decided not to change too much and went with Diamond Pearl White, used on the lexus/toyota line for a few years. Will post a picture when I get it back. >biggrin.gif>

Need to save up and get new springs/shocks/struts/mounts. Also will get the caliper and rear drum cover painted when the suspension work is being done.
very nice man, my mom has that on her LX470 u gotta keep it clean though if u don't wash it for a while u will get funny stains that are hard as $hit to get out.

How much is that going to cost you? I need a paint job bad!

YoungSurvival.Org-Celica traded for.. 350z.. traded for Mazda5.. soccer mom!
yeah..my car is a 94 too and i guess for 10 year old paint it's about time to get a new one! it should look pretty awesome! i love the pearl color >biggrin.gif>
Looking at around $1500 CAN for the paintjob. But to install and paint the factory sideskirts and repair the right rear fender its and additional $450 CAN. So with the current exchange rate about $1450 U.S. + taxes. I saw the car afer sanding, wow, it was so smooth, and they were taking every little ding out of the car. Plus they had to do rust repairs (car was on the east coast for 8 years). thanks for the heads up on keeping it clean.
im going to maco damnit. 400 for the job, and ill give the guy who sprays it like 50 bucks and he'll do a pro job.
lol, maco. i guess the the money wins out.

dimond pearl while shoudl look nice, post pic when its done.

Tweak car with that hood looks great, I think carbon fibre hoods look best on black cars! By the way where did you get your carbon style wipers arms from?
