yea itll be worth it. he doesnt do it full time. he only has a couple days a week to do it. plus teaching me. but hes one of the best around, i guess u used to work for ferrari and paint them and do the body work. Its gonna be orange, just dont know what type. he gettin paintbooks for me that i can look at. i just dont want burnt orange or the orange of there newer cars.

i actually like the burnt orange but i think u should find a different flake to put into it instead of what normally comes in it. my i understand on the paint thing i cant seem to find the right grey i want ither i really like the viper grey but then i dont cause its not dark enough but i also like the new f250 grey ive been seeing really nice dark grey and with out alot of flake so i would be able to put in my blue flake like i want to

ok so yesterday i was workin on the celica and the question of graphics came up, he mentioned putting a vinyl sayin celica or something else, eben a design, and something with the way he paints over it, it would be slightly visible to the point where you can jsut see the words "celica" or what ever else is on there from further away. and when u are up close u cant even see it at all.

opinions would be nice, and maybe some ideas of what to put on the side

[D-Man]

if you decide on vinyls, this place has a crap load

[punkuup5150]

what me and my uncle were thinking of doing is getting a graphic id like but getting the outside of it as a stencil then doing a slightly darker shade of paint for the pgraphic then airbrushing in detail. but to do that i would contact a local signshop u might be able to talk them into letting u have the stencil and let them have the graphic to resell for cheeper since they woudl be throughing it away anyways. im sick and cant spell so i know this is full of errors hope i made sense and it helps lol

[SeverX13]

if i cant find a decent vinyl i was thinkin about gettin vinyls of the badges , celica, GT, and the toyota symbol and then doin that look in the back, idk tho haha i guess i got soem thinkin to do, i just dont want it to look ricey

[punkuup5150]

yea thats why i didnt want to just put the decal on. it woudl be ghosted image instead of a vynal decal. u use a slightly darker color then what your painting then airbrush the edges to bring it out a little more a nice tear graphic would look nice. but you also have to think what would look good with your orange paint. i dont think ive seen ne nice looking decals on orange yet so good luck and cait wait to see it

hahaha no the celica is just photo shy because its naked and not in the best state

[jason]

are you gonna take the door handles off?

not that much work, and you can leave the inside door panel off and try and spray the edges of the door.
