Finished painting the interior and mounted the emblems and nameplates. Interior pics later this week. The silver paint is actually a satin finish. It disperses light and cuts back on reflections. It was totally unplanned but came out so even and smooth that i kept it as is. Some people who touch it for the first time think it's still wet.
 Hope you like the pics. It was a lot of work but worth it. Learned so much and had a blast doing all the bodywork myself. Still need to find 1157 dual filament Hyper White bulbs for the turnsignals.     i need all the feedback pos or neg... --------------------  |

Great job Axel! I think it looks really good. Not used to the emblems like that, but I think it goes well with your car. Are the rear badges any different or are they still the same?

Sherwin Williams Ultra 7000 - Toyota 199 (Silver Alpine Metallic) S/W - RS2050 Clearcoat We got it from the really nice guy who wanted to sell us a $500 mask....  It's great paint, and it was a lot of fun working on this car. I didn't get as much hands on time as axel did, but it was still a gas. Dude, love the car! I love the jerked-back-hand-because-its-still-wet reaction almost everyone has. Job well DONE! |
