So after owning my car for over a year I've finally got sick of my oxidized paint. I've prevented it from spreading any worse than how it was when I bought it but I finally got sick of it. Plus all the door dings, scratches, etc. And a kid ran into it with their bike this weekend so I have some new scrapes and dents.

I'M FINALLY PAINTING THE ENTIRE CAR!

So far I've just removed the spoiler and sanded it down, I'm going to try a few different colors on it and see what I think of them before painting the whole car. While I'm experimenting with colors I'm going to be pulling all the dents on the car, filling my antenna hole, and maybe painting my wheels I'm not sure.

I'm debating on a glossy enamel black, metallic black, or for some reason yellow lol

It will take a while, and most likely I'll be driving a primered car for half the summer, but at least I'm starting to do it haha

*EDIT* I've also been in a debate of if I want to fully shave my emblems while I'm in this process. I've been thinking about totally removing the Celica and GT emblems, but leaving the Toyota symbols and painting them ultra-flat black.

Good choice...I started on bodywork on my car today as well.

I'd get rid of the emblems mate. I got rid of the celica one and really want to get rid of the toyota one too, they are just a complete pain to clean around.

i think you may have just inspired me to do the same with mine

mine would be primer for a while too though..

I'm hoping to be done with bodywork by Monday night, and hopefully paint the weekend after.
