Tearlessj's SLOW Build. Lots of Pics.

[Tearlessj]

IM DONE......well 98%

Heres the car finished, Im impressed with how well the paint turned out. It was worth the few bucks, although the labor involved SUCKED. I started the paint on 12-16, and ended on 1-16. Thats with rainy days and a 6 day vacation. Here are the final results. Leave me some feedback.

Weight reduction FTW!!!!!!

Looks great Tearless. I can't tell how shiny it is either. Did you spray clearcoat on it?

I did not do clear coat. The paints pretty reflective, it just looks dull due to the cloudyness that day. I plan to polish the car again to be 100% sure I polished it all the way. The funny thing is, after all this work. I havnt even touched the Front bumper yet. I dont know what to do with it, I may just go Greddy.

It looks pretty good considering it was $50. It's not as good as real automotive paint, but, that's the be expected, it just looks a little off. But still, amazing for $50. You put a lot of work into it and it turned out nicely. Looks a whole lot better than it did before the paint. Good work!

 

[fiyota]

good job man! looks good with the rear wiper delete.. That's what I'm going to have done along with removing the antenna when I take my car to get painted! Take some pics in the sun so we can see how the paint really turned out (some closeups would be good aswell, showing a reflection)

 

[johnathan1]

Looks great! Now it just needs to be buffed with some swirl remover! 3M makes a great swirl remover, and so does Zaino...

wow, that looks really nice but im sure you knew that. anyways may i ask where you got the inspiration to do the job?

 

[mk3_dude]

wow for a 15year old, you did much better than me. lol...

Can you do a full step by step write up when you have the time. would be cool. Great job!

Inspiration came from it being my first car. lol I was thinking about selling the car for a some profit, but cant part with after all the work ive done. haha

Theres many write ups online, just google it. :icon_bigg

Im going to put the bumper back on today. I dont know what to do with the front bumper and the side molding. This is be a stupid idea, but my front bumper isnt going to be exactly the same color.

do you not have enough paint left to paint the bumper?

 

[mobes]

Excellent work!

It's nice to see someone your age taking care of a Supra. Most just beat the shit out of em' then whine about it when they break.

 

[Tearlessj]

do you not have enough paint left to paint the bumper?

Well Im still not sure about it. I have plenty of paint left over, enough to paint 2 more cars. I havnt painted the front bumper yet. I think im ganna match it with the rest of the car now. I want to metallic flake some part of the car, before I try to do the whole thing. I may do my hood cause it has a dent and ill proboly swap out anyway.

 

[akito]

very impressive! i planned to start on mine as soon as the bad weather cleared out. Hopefully soon. Props for putting so much effort into this.

 

[suprarx7nut]

Shit, I thought i was young at 20. Thats some incredible work for a 15 year old. K

eep up the good work and dont drive crazy like every other teen with a supra I've seen.
