Well, I am gonna try it on the 94 rebuild...maybe I can get a metallic flake considering I am a manager at Home Depot....
 That way it may not look like total ass but,it will be a fun experience.

These paint jobs only look good in pics. Ive seen a few of them in person and they just look terrible. Do this only if you hate your car.

Well,considering the 94 is 1/2 blue and 1/2 red...with some dents and dings...I guess I am going to use this as a learning experience. Last night I sanded down the rear end of the car,filled some acorn size dents and primed it. Gonna see how it comes out. My GF had our digi last night so I couldn't take pics but I will take some probably tonight or tomorrow and post them. Honestly, I am thinking with the metallic paint and with the way I am painting it....it really won't look THAT bad. I AM going to rattle can the clear coat though.

Yea, Manny and Jenn are pretty much Celica gods...
I'm gonna take pictures every step of the way...I'll know if it looks like ass soon enough...but...hey...if the worst I do is get rid of the dents and dings and end up having to prime it afterwards cuz it does suck....atleast I'll only have to get it painted. -------------------- |

This is like one of those redneck jokes...
You might be a redneck if you paint your car with a roller and sand the bugs out of it as they fly in...
