alright you all make me sick.(BTW i mean sick like wow i want my car to look that nice) its my turn to do my car.

-I'm going to paint it black instead of the factory red.
-shave everything off the hatch, shave hood squirters
-smooth every seam in the jambs
-not sure if i want to shave door handles and filler cap or not
-give it the ole coomer engine bay treatment(thats last)
-color match my wheels(maybe)
-eventually make some tail lights from the stock one...until them smoked tails or candy red them
-projecters (eventually)
-shave side markers and put on the small euro style markers
-and i am looking into a new front end, which is the reason i am posting.....are there many pictures of supra -bumpers on celicas with celica lights?
-i dont care about fabrication of anything becasue i work at a hot rod shop and the owner used to make fiberglass bodys

project sinister is about to begin

well im still learning to paint and since my uncles no pro we kinda learn together with alot of reading and talking to some shops in town. im trying to get my car finished so i can use it as a resume and hopefully get a job working for a real shop and learn a bit more then i all ready know. what about doing a black base with a red or silver matallic and a darkred candy? to get your black cherry color

you can do several things or combination of things for a black cherry effect: a black metallic base with a red candy, a plain black base with red pearl over that OR even mixed in with the black base, black with red metal flakes will kinda do it bot mostly it will look kinda dirty (IMO, some pearls on black,like gold, make the car look dusty all the time) like I said previously i wouldnt jump right in with candys BUT practice with metallics and tri coat pearls..a little cheaper and WAY easier to fix then candy
