after waiting months for it to get painted, its finally done. didnt get it blended so the red is a bit brighter than the rest of the car but i was told it will darken as it cures, not to mention my car needs a good buff/wax so hopefully it will even out a bit. pics up soon.

your car sorta reminds me of my car... my hood and bumper are a tad lighter than the rest of the body. i found out that the paint scanner isn't as accurate for matching bright paint colors like red than other colors...
if you're still rolling with the stock paint, always use the toyota paint code. and i can't believe it took them 3 months to paint your hood and bumper... -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
