IIRC california required all shops to transfer over to waterbased paints by law, which i've never sprayed, so you'd be better off finding someone local to you. i wouldnt mind traveling to paint..that would be cool! -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

so today, the car got the gun.
and, all i can say, is WOW. they totally picked the right color for a celica. here are a few pics i took while it was in the booth.     this last pic is of the license plate surround, close up with the flash on, it shows the pearl midcoat off really well.  this is definetly one of the straightest, cleanest paint jobs i've done to date. it was nearly 100* when i started painting it, and i came out of the booth telling everyone how much fun it was. lol. i hope you guys enjoy it, alot of hard work went into this car, and IMO its all paid off.

To Manny (pressure2):
How much do you charge for a paint job? My car is black, but if I get it repainted I'm looking to do either a midnight or pearl black It does need a tad bit of body work; slight rust on the doors and the driver's side quarter panel has a small ripple effect on the bottom. I'm just looking for a rough estimate. PM me please |
