[Digndoug]

Wow you do have some skills.. How much do you charge?

[celicagurl152003]

[brianforster]

truthfully i'd have to see pics or the car before i can give an estimate. lol...marks old doors.....the gunmetal celi.....god that was a beautiful car.....*tear*

[celicagurl152003]

I still have to bolt on the spoiler and put the sunroof and mirrors back on but that is about it....oh i also have to do a silver pin stripping on it to.

[lagos]

is that car turboed ?

[celicagurl152003]

yes it is

[spunky393]

front end makes me sick, however, the paint job is what makes the car with-standable.

[presure2]

i dont like the car, or the scheme at all, but your skills stand out
nice job!

[celicagurl152003]

don't worry guys i had nothing to do with the choosing of the kit or paint colors....i personally don't like the car at all but i love the way the paint layed and looks

[jgreening]

I agree with Manny. The kit and colors are WAY too much for me but I know some people like those kind of things and to each their own.

Here is a tip. I give this to you in the spirit of constructive critism so I hope it is received that way. If you are trying to build your business, my suggestion is to paint and post some cars that are slightly toned down from yours and this one. You still have to include enough custom work to show off your skills but try posting some projects that appeal to people with more traditional tastes. IMO, that would help your business as 99% of car owners would never do something like that to their car (even the number of teenagers that would do something like that is very small I would guess). Good luck.

Props on the work. A lot of time and effort was put into that.

I hate that Firebird hood and I hate it even more on that car.
It looks like a cheap remake of the ram air. I'm really old school,
so really, it might be the rage now.
I am really sorry it just dosen't do it for me.
I'm sure the paint is amazing.

[celicurr]

paint job is amazing!
but the rest of the car is not my cup of tea

[celicagurl152003]

what you all are saying is completly understandable but i can only show what i do......i don't get many people asking for a plain one color paint look...most that come to me are show cars and are looking for te out the window eye catching custom paint. Trust me if I had more plane looks i'd show them to you but i dont.......well besides mark's 6gc but that is no more.

once i do some more maybe there will be some regular black ect in there and i'll be able to show them to you.....right now i have a convertible mustange that's getting painted all pink (does that count) lol......but really these are the kind of paint jobs i get in

[tim86]

im just kinda laughing at the turbo sunfire... my friend has one and its a huge pos... u did good work on it though, thats the last car i would expect to be turbo

Very well put , i personnaly dont like the celica or that orange and black thing ! But thats just me , far too over the top for my likes . If i was looking for a bodyshop though and saw the work you had done to your celica i would feel more than happy to have someone of your ability working on my car !

[BlackCelicaGT94]

Is two tone big in the show world out there? I rarely see it at shows here. Kinda interesting to see the difference.

I think the only time id have orange and black together is if I had a HOOTERS sponsored car. Which i have dreamt about for a couple of years.

How long does it take you to do a paint job? do you have other painters? I think I read you own your own shop right??

[celicagurl152003]

yes i own my own shop....with my dad and brother.....they do the engine rebuild and electrical sense i'm still learning in that department, and i do the body and paint work. I have my dad help with the sanding and such because in order to get the car out in a timly manner i just plain need the help.

Normally it takes between 2-4 weeks depending on the extent of paint and body work that needs done.

And yes two tone is a very big thing on the east coast.....I have seen many two tone cars this season at the NCCA judjes events (HIN, Tuner War, Carlisle events, Hot Import Days, Night Shift, Super Tuner Show). Most of the main two tone is black and red/blue/purple. Although I have seen black and green, blue and orange, black and orange, ect. Most people don't realize that a show car needs to have eye catching paint, something that draws people over to the car when it is with other cars. Therefore alot of show cars have flake or pearls in them. They also seem to have more airbrushing then any other cars. For instance if you have a line up of blue, black, white, and red cars and then have mine in there......what car would catch your eye......probabily mine because of the contrast in color as well as the flames and flake. Once something has caught your eye you more then likly look at it...then decide weither you like it or not....therefore the paint did it's job by bringing you over to the car.
