i dont know if its just my imagination, but it seems like my celica's paint is really dulling. i see everyone else's pix and the paint still looks nice (ie. shines) after 7+ ish years. so, does anyone know if its normal for the paint to dull? and how many of you have had paint jobs, and if so how much did it cost you? thanx. peace.

What colour paint do you have? The Toyota red is famous for being a shocker if your car is outdoors a lot. I see so many faded red Mr2's Celica's Corollas etc its not funny.
My car is garaged so I am guessing that it makes a lot of difference to the paint quality over the years. You can do the whole claybarpaintcleanerpolishwax process. ( I probably forgot a few steps in there)

Oh yeh, and pics can be deceiving! There are probably Celica owning/Photochop experts on this site.

*Edit* I just saw that you have a white car. You can't get white to shine up like a black car can no matter how much work you put into it.

The light colour cars dont respond to polishing as well as darker coloured cars.
