chrisrigpig Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Just a quick "Thanks" to all that helped with my Supra project by buying stuff from my garage clear out, all these funds went towards the paint job and she's now painted and looks great, (Hope you agree) Supra not finished but at least looks the part. Underside and engine detailing next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Difficult to comment on the paint without seeing it in person but the paint looks quite flat/dull in the pics, especially the bonnet, but it's nothing that a proffesional with a machine polisher couldnt sort out If your happy then that's cool, but I reckon it could be a heap load better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisrigpig Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Obviously the trained eye can see things I can’t, think I’ll go for a second opinion fro another body shop.[sAD][/sAD] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 looks great to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvteye Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Looks great to me but my eye isn't trained (It's a vvt ) Ask Peter Richards for his opinion, he's an old pro (at machine polishing etc!) Don't let the bubble burst on this though, as long as there aren't any runs or paint on window seals etc, then well done I say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 yep it's nothing major at all, almost every paint job that i've seen could always do with some improvement, just think, if you think it looks great now imagine how amazing it'll look with a pro detailer working their magic on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSK Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I think Tom is right. Looks like the paint job is nice and smooth overall but lacks that sparkle..... Fwiw attached are a few pictures of mine, its never been repainted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
