It is brand new!!! Heck its better then new!! When you buy a car in the showroom its paint has been on the car for months, going through shipping and such.

This paint job had been dry for 30 mins when I got the car infront of my house! MAN I LOVE THIS!

Nice!..now clean up those bumpers!
BTW, is the resize mod malfunctioning again?

[Widar]

Woo i missed this major update in your thread, and DAMN your car looks good! Real nice work!

How much did you end up paying for it?

[Mux213]

Ivan, not sure if the resize mod is malfuntioning but I put them on 1024x768 on purpose usually I put my pictures up in 640 but this paintjob deservers 1024. The pictures actually go up to 2048 but for that you need to go to my website.

Widar, I paid 800 euro for the paintjob. Part of it is paint, part of it is renting the spray booth and part of it is some "black" pay to some collegues of my mate Martijn.

But all in all, I have Martijn to thank for this 100% as he put 2 full 11 hour saterdays and numerous tuesday nights into getting my car where it is now body and paint wise. And he did most of that work as a favour so I owe him big time now because this is one profesional job, not a simple spray over.

Multiple coats of primer, multiple coats of blue and multiple coats of transparent top coat. This paint job will last for years to come.

800€ is a real nice price! Your car looks great!

[Mux213]

Widar,

Just add over 30 hours of work to that that Martijn did, the total price would have been a couple of thousand euros if you would do this kind of paintjob and body work through official channels. Man I owe this guy alot of thanks

It really makes you think what a bodged up job you would get with those 300 euro spray overs some companies offer.

Ah finally daylight!!

Color looks smashing Can't wait to get the bumpers done and take some nice pictures in good scenery

The car looks amazing now! BTW how does the car handle with the new bushings and front springs? Or haven't you installed the springs yet?

[Ivan141]

I have another idea for you, try to find the kouki headlight trimmings that I have on my car... They make the front look a bit cleaner. I ordered them new from toyota back then..cost me 60 euro's

I have only installed some of the new bushings but it definately makes a big difference. Especially the front swaybar bushings, they have made the car so much more stable.
