question about 97 celica paint - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #55986 3 posts Started by williamsg4
Hi everyone i'm new to the forum...my 97 celica has paint that is fading on the very front and the very back of the car..i just want those places repainted, does anyone have an idea of how much that would cost? Also, the toyota decals in the front and in the back are faded, i'm guessing the original color is silver?
Would anyone have info about getting those painted back on?? Thanks very much

If you have a green 97 st hatch the emblems are more than likley the limited edition black
reflective. No longer available. Take the car to a shop and get a quote it is usually free. smile.gif

JDM guy made me do it.
Done properly, $500 to $600 each end. Had my bumper cover and hood redone after a shopping cart hit it. $800+ and they have now replaced the bumper cove and re-painted it 4 times since it kept peeling. Thus the "Done properly" statement... Takes special prep work to paint the plastic bumper covers right.
All from a shopping cart and a couple of rock chips... Dont go for lower bids. And ask around for references. Makes you sick to see fist-sized spots of paint just peeling off from the wind...especially since it only had a small crack by the headlight and a couple of noticable rock chips to start with.
