Nice. Not too many of us have dads, but I know how you feel. My dad has always been there for me and without my dad, I wouldn't be the man I am today.

BTW Nice work by your father.

original plan was just to wet sand it down so all the clear is gone. then just shoot the paint.
here is the primer that my dad said we should just invest in. luckily we did or else the paint would've not stuck and would look all wrinkley

DUDE BADASS PAINT JOB... did your dad paint the whole car? or you also?

oh yea btw...jw wat paint did you use?

you just got me excited for my summer project...haha *thumbs up*

[808celica]

lolz my dad told me he was gonna do the whole thing while i drive his truck to go get lunch. fair enough. im painting the spoiler and gas lid though. we missed it yesterday. all my fault. but im liking the spoiler-less look.

as far as the paint. i bought my paint at a local shop. Napa auto store. dont know if its also station up in the mainland. the sold me cross/fire paint. i wanted the deepest black they got and they gave me. this paint called "mid-night coach black" i have to go back and get the clear and................possibly a gold pearl to put between clear coats

[lx130]

ooo lala gold pearl...sounds pretty nice... yea theres a few Napa's here around teh chicago area... guess ima check them out! mad props man i keep loookin at your pics hahaha
