this is true...especially since it was written on my dash for over a year...LMAO!
steff my be getting married to dustin..but right now, this week, she loves MEEEEEE!!!!


today i deleted the sidemarkers, and antenna hole, and finished preping the car for primer.
some pics.

first, evidence!





welding patches for the sidemarkers and antenna.





first coat of short strand fiberglass reinforced filler.



then regular filler:







sanded and ready for primer:









once its all primed and guide coated, my buddy mike and i will block the whole thing, do any last minute fixes, and get her preped to go in for the gun this comming saturday.

smaay..guess it depends on what you mean by "anywhere" lol. IIRC california required all shops to transfer over to waterbased paints by law, which i've never sprayed, so you'd be better off finding someone local to you.
i wouldnt mind traveling to paint..that would be cool!

so today, the car got the gun.
and, all i can say, is WOW.
they totally picked the right color for a celica.
here are a few pics i took while it was in the booth.









this last pic is of the license plate surround, close up with the flash on, it shows the pearl midcoat off really well.






this is definetly one of the straightest, cleanest paint jobs i've done to date.
it was nearly 100* when i started painting it, and i came out of the booth telling everyone how much fun it was. lol.
i hope you guys enjoy it, alot of hard work went into this car, and IMO its all paid off.

To Manny (pressure2):

How much do you charge for a paint job?
My car is black, but if I get it repainted I'm looking to do either a midnight or pearl black
It does need a tad bit of body work; slight rust on the doors and the driver's side quarter panel has a small ripple effect on the bottom.
I'm just looking for a rough estimate.
PM me please

Me and Dustin spent about 10 hours putting this car back together today. It all paid off in the end. All I can say is OMG it is beyond what I could have expected, I knew it was going to look nice but seeing it all come together is just unbelievable. The color and the paint job are amazing!!











There are a few more little details to work on tomorrow and Dustin will hopefully be able to get some nice pics in the daylight.
