So shiny.





Mind you, this is all original 18 year old paint (!).. Just requires hard work (done by your little brother ) and some proper tools. Really happy with the outcome!

Some stuff by an Italian company called Monello. I never heard of it before he did my car but it's supposed to be really good. He made me a believer.

Sooo nice. How much has it been in a covered garage over those last 18 years? It has been well maintained.

I have no idea actually. I bought it without knowing the history, but I did found out that it stood still on a farm (either inside or outside, not sure) from 2007 'til 2011.. So I find it extraordinary that the paint still holds up so well.

The front bumper and lip have fresh paint, but tbh the rest of the car shines just as much!

The paint on these Celicas seem to hold up really well if they are maintained, especially the metal. I've found that bumpers, door handles, and side mirrors need some TLC after a while though.

Have you ever buffed it?

Yeah, he used a buffer to polish the car.

Box~ I'm sure he does, if you pay for it.

That sad moment when it'd be cheaper to respray your car, then to have someone polish it.

The wheels are 18x9 ET 28 front and 18x9 ET 23 in the rear. 225/40 all around, lowered on BC Racing coilovers.

As you can see though, the rears are slightly tucked:
