Well, its been almost 3 weeks since i took my Celica in for the body and paint work.
I went in today to check up and the have fixed my hood(i recieved it damaged, not sellers fault), fixed all dents and dings, shaved all badges and now they have started to primer it.

They said it won't be till Friday before they can paint it.
I found out it takes 3 different colors to get the Candy effect.
first coat is green with the silver in it and the other 2 r the actual Candy color.

They even sprayed a piece of sheetmetal and gave it to me.
OMG!!! Even w/o the clearcoat, its hella sweet.
I swear when its done im gonna look at it and hit the floor crying.lol

I was even thinking about changine my tag from LOFLYBY to KNDY MN(candy man) I CANDY(I Candy) or SWT2OTH(Sweet Tooth) since im getting the Candy apple paint.

Anyone have any other ideas??

Thanks for reading my babaling.

Well, i went last night and it was painted.
I got there just as he was getting reaady to put on the first coat of Candy.
The base coat(light green with gold and silver pearl) looked bitchen!!

I left at about 7 and then came back at 10 and all he had to do was put the clear on it and buff it good.
OMG!!!!!!!!!
The paint looked even better on the car then on the sheet metal.

I wasn't thinking, i should have brought my camera.

He said he will be done painting everything monday, but it depends on haw fast the other guy re installs the bumperrs and all before i can get it back, so i might get it back no later then wednesday.

Im gonna take lots of pics as soon as i get it bcak
