another paint job Options

[twinkletoestheir...]

so this was my first attempt at painting my car. never done anything like it before what you think.

before



during




where i backed into my friends car lol











after








then thought it was missing something so i bought some red ghost pearl, but it turned out to be more pink and purple than red so i went and bought some red air brush pearl and put it on top

ghost pearl



red pearl



i wanted to put the dragon on the hood with a racing stripe down the back, but instead of the typical racing stripe i put it on like a trail of blood






















yeah i know the dragon messed up it ripped the black and clear coat when i pulled the tape off but this was all trial and error ill be going to school for it in the fall.

good work looks very japan (and joe101 you should know that).....i like it....the colors r used in lots of japan vases, and sculpturs..... along with the celica dragon thats complete japan.....it looked bad at first but after u completed it, it was great...imo good work on giving it the paint brush look ..looks like calligraphy.......the stripe really dont look like blood looks like solor flares and sparks but it looks hand painted great look for the brushed on dragon ...put some japan lettering on ur doors r elswere giving it a authintic look using the lettering for toyota would be perfect i use that letterin in my car.......http://www.japanese-symbols.org/japanese-symbol-for-Toyota..........and it pi**es me off when ppl here say (oh your car dont have the 6gc look..it dont look like 6gc should look like) thats a bunch of bull.....look at how many of us put body kits on these cars and yet u say to urselfs (now thats a 6gc) WHATEVER.......no matter how you paint it no matter what body kit you put on it, it still and always will look like a 6gc..some like it dressed up some like it shaved some like it stock some like flashy it dont matter.....our cars dont have very much aftermarket stuff therfor it will never get screwd up and riced out like a honda .......the only way u can confuse ppl is with the convesions......like the curren......WORD TO ALL YOU 6GC MEMBERS DONT LET ANYONE TELL YOU YOUR 6TH GEN. CELICA DOSENT LOOK LIKE A 6TH GEN. CELICA
