ok so ive sat down and looked through alot of books and i cant seem to get away from toyota peint colors>_< so i have come up with sticking with the 2008-2009 new grey they came up with for the solara/ corolla its not all that fancy but it will look good ont he celi and you cant go wrong with a toyota factory color. i might end up sparking it up with a little extra metallic but wait and see.

so the color is from the 2008 ppg color book
Code - 1g3
Ppg # 913088



















Vis C- one front

Dustins eye brows

I can't wait to see that paint job! You should look at Batman's color... he's got like a gunmetal/charcoal metallic on his car, it's absolutely beautiful IMO.

[punkuup5150]

no more dents no more dents im happy i also shaved off my antenna which gave me the most problems. the actual fitting of the fiberglass starts soon till then my cars a nice shade of green yuck. i dont know if anyone lives around the stockton/modesto area but i saw 3 celicas drive around today and wasnt sure if anyof them belong to a member on here but u will notice a multi colored celi driving around here for a few weeks while i do my body work. next to go on is my trd wing and sharkfin antenna i cant wait.

[punkuup5150]

i didnt get to work on the car this weekend im soo bummed >_<

[CelicaST_CALI]

HURRYY UP i wanna know wat my car will look like!!!!

[punkuup5150]

im sorry its takeing so long with working with family u all know how it goes lol. hopefully my weekend off i can get some things done at least get my antenna put in im sick of not having radio!!!!!

[punkuup5150]

ok did some more work on it yesterday and im extremly happy!!!! both rear quarter panels are ready for prime and paint. my wings gone for now the holes have been filled and its sitting with fiberglass bondo to fill in any little holes the welder may have made. then a skinn of normal bondo and its realy for my trd wing wich is primed and ready for paint. next project im working on is my hiro splitters and my antenna then random sanding/primer. imma take a week off hopefully soon to fit the front end and then paint im hopeing top have the car done by the end of july and also next week when i get paid im prolly going to buy my cf hood also since its been takeing so long ive been able to save lots of money. and ill still have enough saved up i might be able top get my rims shortly after its painted. so i need some sudjestions on rims what u guys think would look good? id like a 5 spoke 17 inch rim in ither black or gunmetal or i can paint match them if i feel like it. well pics soon to be up of the progress right now my cars naked and is funny looking i dont like it with out the wing. so just keeping everyone up to speed on my slowish progress

[goferris]

you should get some rims like these
local classifieds
i just wish i had some money and didn't have a truck to fix

[punkuup5150]

well figured id shoudl keep u guys updated on the progress. the car is almost totally green with repairing small dents and dings and useing some etchign primer to keep the metal from rusting. my wing just went on today and it makes a huge difference in looks im really impressed dont as to see how its mounted its not pretty but who cares its a trunk and i can make patch pannels to fill in the holes we used. so i am slowly getting the car done ill take some pics tonight after im outta the shower i worked 8 hours on the car this morning and bondo dust and this heat means im now green cause its stuck to me lol. im giving my self a realistic deadline of 2 montsh tofinish just because i work 40-50 hours a week and im also working with my uncle whos a busy man also. but hey its fine with me i will have 2 more toys for the car even before we paint muhahahah lews getting me one and the others coming from vis. then after that the only thing i have are rims but im still undecided and i also wanna dropt he car so that will prolly come sometime later this year or early next year. so look forward to pics of the green machine and u can laugh at my handywork

[punkuup5150]
