So I have been working on my celica for a few years and I figured I would post my work now that things are finally coming together.
Here is my car as it is today:    I still have to finish some minor body work on the back. Then I need to paint the hood, roof and the rear. This post has been edited by rivs: Aug 23, 2012 - 9:01 PM |

Interesting. And it's just paint, no clear coat needed?

QUOTE (Box @ Sep 16, 2012 - 10:43 PM)  Interesting. And it's just paint, no clear coat needed? Yeah the paint is really shiny by itself. You can add it for more protection from chips and the elements. QUOTE (celica74 @ Sep 17, 2012 - 1:02 PM) Come paint mine? Looks great Thanks man! If it wasn't so time consuming, I would consider painting someone else's car. This is one of those more time than money type of projects. |
