    p5150's 2jz na-T slash re-re paint and whatever-else-needs-to-be-done

    Yeah Nick, its my old car. I have had this car since 1998. It was originally red and then painted a very dark green. It looked black until the light hit it (or the paint flaked off in the door jambs then it looked red)

    :drink1: I hate to resurrect an old thread, but lets place homage to Simann's last post!:beer: I never thought that seeing somebody nailed with a lifetime ban would actually make me happier.

    p5150's 2jz na-T slash re-re paint and whatever-else-needs-to-be-done

    I keep sanding down the hood, and little pits that werent feathered out before the last coat keep jumping out. Im really worried that some of these pits have been covered by the shitty maaco job and will flake off after this coat. Not to mention that the underside of the hood is going to be a...

    Global Warming is over. (Really, it is. No joke.)

    :confused: No, its because the infrastructure of our country was built on the guise of an inexpensive oil supply. People continue to purchase vehicles that get crappy mileage because manufacturers do not make efficient vehicles. Why do people purchase diesel engines for their big trucks...

    Global Warming is over. (Really, it is. No joke.)

    im sick of people turning everything into a case for the "right" or the "left". People polarize viewpoints and ideas that conflict with their own and brand them with a bullshit name like "liberal" or "conservative". Its not that simple. One question: Been to europe or asia? The answer...

    Global Warming is over. (Really, it is. No joke.)

    this isnt a partisan issue. Why do we have to polarize everything? Put it in terms of $. Do you know how much money we waste on foreign oil? Billions and billions. My TDI jetta gets 50 hwy/42 city. It has plenty of power and drives very nicely. Why doesnt the government set tougher...

    Many of the studies that dispute global warming were actually funded directly by big oil/coal companies

    p5150's 2jz na-T slash re-re paint and whatever-else-needs-to-be-done

    Personally, I think maaco may be a good deal IF you prep the car and bring it to them ready to paint. Prepwork is ALL the work. I had the car painted way back in the day (2000 or so) so I cant give you a good estimate. The POR15 is high quality shizzle. Permanent to say the least.

    p5150's 2jz na-T slash re-re paint and whatever-else-needs-to-be-done

    today I found a couple of small cracks in the metal of the door. They were right above the door handle protruding from the corners on the drivers side. I thought that it always felt kind of loose, now I know why. It wasnt noticable until I sanded it down. I welded it back up, ground it down and...

    p5150's 2jz na-T slash re-re paint and whatever-else-needs-to-be-done

    I didnt realize how much work this would entail until I actually started.... The car was repainted by the "best" MAACO paintjob back in 2001 or so.... Most of the paint adheres pretty well..... I have the car totally stripped down. Glass is removed (except for windshield and hatch glass)...
