My Flat Black Celica : Pics Inside Options

[Chanh55]

Painted my car over the weekend using cans, "flat black". Tell me what you guys think. All my friends think I'm psycho, one of my friends said it looks like a Batmobile now.

All body work done by myself, I had no experience in body work before so I think it was good experience for me. Check out the 96-99 clear turns. I'm probably going to wet sand the whole car this weekend there is some over saturation/ overspray in some areas.

Pics taken with my camera phone, car is a little ashy from the fires Cali's been having 30-40 miles away...:












You're looking at 96-99 clear turns custom molded on to a c-one style bumper.

This is just temporary. I don't think I can justify a 2000+ paint job on my car since the value of it is probably only 2 or 3k due to high mileage, if I'm lucky.

I'm probably going to find a place that will do the base and clearcoat for under 1k if I do all the prep work.

The reason I did this was to paint over the bondo that I used to cover up the antenna hole and to make the whole car one color. Sure the paint was nice before... but it was a free paintjob with a lot of flaws, that was just a really nice pic using a 8mp camera.

Till I get a real paint job... The Batmobile will live for a month or so. I'll post pics when it's done, it's going to be sexy.
