Thanks for looking

I see the pearl allright . Nice colour and a really nice buildup!

sweet,
i own this car in real life with a veilside bodykit,
i just wish i could have the skills to build a veilside kit on a celica.

that is soo tight, white looks awesome, too bad its not final

After a week soaking in brake fluid it's looking a bit sorry for itself but on the plus side it's removed about 5 differnet layers of paint & it gives you some idea how the bodykit was built up.


On the downside I've given it a coat of primer and it looks as though I've got some more sanding & putty work to do to as I used cellulose stopper for small imperfections and the brake fluid appears to have dissolved it - there's also a crack appeared in the rear bumper which'll need fixing.Once the bodyworks taken care of I'm going to go with a solid red to be on the safe side.
Thanks for looking

Man that sucks about the bleed through it looks awesome in that colour.
Im sure it will turn out fine for ya in the long run.

Hi David
I'm still sort of working on it between other things - it's currently back in primer but there's a few areas that I'm not happy with which need filling again (same goes for the 06 Mustang). Once that's sorted out I just need a decent weekend weatherwise to gett some paint on them both(once I decide on colours !).
Thanks for your interest
Andy

Too bad about the 1st paint jop. Bodywork looks top notch. Keep up the great work Andy!

[Andy Jones]

Finally got round to spraying this for the second time. In view of the problems with the red plastic bleeding through I intended to paint it red but as the the Eleanor mustang is going to be that colour decided to use Vauxhall Carib Blue metallic instead.
I think I'll go with black rims for a change - the ones pictured are luxy type 4's with trim rings. Sorry the picture's not very good (8.30 pm here) - the colour is a lot brighter under natural light.
I'll try and clearcoat it tomorrow and post better pics.

Thanks for looking
Andy
PS/ It'll have the stock wing but just realised I forgot to spray it.

really like the color on that celica great job after all that work
BTW wat are u doing inside the car?

[subyfanatic]

The white paint looked a little like my satin white pearl Legacy. Too bad it didn't work out but I still like the body kit a lot!!

The color is awesome and great job on the bodywork, it's awesome to see it raw then painted. Real smooth work. The rims have a little too much offset for a Celica, though, don't they?
