CrossCudi's 95 AT200, New Paint Job Options

[CrossCudi]

Sorry guys i never really entroduced myself, just kinda walked in about 2 yrs ago lol !!
my name is martin, but known as *Cross =)

so lately ive been working on my celica and decided to share.

Red 95 celica 1.8st
Pretty much stock everything except:

Headers, some tinted windows, and a decent sound system.

Last week i was able to get my hands on some TC wheels for a very cheap price because they were filled with curb rashes, and only had 3 tires.
Over the weekend went to my local ACE Harware and bought some beauty supplies...

FOA: sorry for bad quality pics:

they were all like this:


and this:


since i dont have a garage to work, i carried them up to the roof and started working there !

i JB Weld all 4 rims and sanded them down...


after that process was done, the next day was finally the more fun day,
i primer n paint n clear..

*3 coats of primer:
if u look closely i didnt do the greatest job applying and sanding the jb weld
but i am 100% more happy with how they look now than b4.




and here they are after *3 coats of gold




im totally unexperience with this stuff, and if i can go back i would definitely prep alot better before painting.
sanding really makes a huge defferent but its such a B****!

i was very happy with this color, i wanted a bit darker but i can roll wit it.
the 3 tires are in fair conditions, i would say about 75% thread on there,
need to buy a fourth.

Also: Ordered me some Megans Coils which i should be recieving in the mail tomorrow..
can possibly do an unboxing video or just snap some pics to show u how they come and look.
i was reading up on the HOW TO: threads and was really tempted on installing these myself,.
Any recommendations would help..

Yeah, I don't even know why our car has the fender side-markers. The turn signals satisfy legal requirements since they come on with the side-markers.

*COUGH*

The turn signal housing is reflective and lights up as a side-marker, since it wraps around to where it's visible from the side it satisfies the legal requirements. Therefore the ugly ones on the fender are redundant. If you're so concerned about legality you need to modify your JDM tails as they have neither a light or reflector in the sides of them.
