Rustoleum paint job is awesome, looks great. I plan to roll mine on later in the year. Post up some pics after it is polished and waxed.

Thanks! Yea im used to matte black jobs... Ive done a few.. But on this my wife wanted a shiny finish so I figured id give it a shot. Ive never done gloss before but with some extra time it seems to turn out pretty good. I honestly would do it again.

And the thing with white and rattle cans is that, if you damage a bumper or something it is not that hard to respray and there won't be a noticeable(if any) difference in color, with sun shinning on it.

Very true that's why I picked white and rattle can cause I know my wife will bump something. laugh.gif


Heres a better pic of the shine right now. like I said I still need to polish and wax it. I also need to use my good camera and take some shots instead of my phone...

Well I just got a job at Toyota today! My buddy that works there is doing a 1jz into a mint ford falcon!?! Crazy! this other guy has a new body supra completely done up and a 2jz with 450whp. And this other guy is doing a 240sx with a 2jz. So ill be getting some discounted oem parts here soon.. I should be able to get the celica all done now then I might even buy me a toy to play with now seeing as everyone there has nice projects..

My wife wants to drive the car now! People already want to buy it off me, LOL And just a bit ago the car was only good for scrap biggrin.gif I guess I made them see the diamond in the rough!
