Need opinion on this paint job!
 

I need an opinion on this painted celica, it is 98% complete (intake and grill details haven't been decided). My bro doesn't like the paint job, and his girlfriend says it looks 'dirty'. Man, I thought the job came out really good.

well.. actualy a bit dirty, but sweet.. I couldnt have done dnything better:)

By the way.. did u use a paint brush:confused:

No, it was spray can in high wind situation:D . Only the silver is brushed on.

cool.. and wat happend tothe windows? they are kind a not flat.. did u put smth on them not to paint them?:)

Unfortunately, I sprayed to quickly over the car, it resulted in a rippling effect on the window. Plus, I removed the masking that was under the car that protected the windows and then applied the clear coat. I always say, learn from your mistakes:D .

and wat is this coat for? to protect the paint and to make it more shiny?:)

Making the car look shiny, yes. About the protection, only time will tell and my driving!:D It is an enamel based coating, enamel paints have a habit of chipping.

I say you let them have a try their hand at painting one then ask them how they think yours came out. Other than the windows which aren't that bad (unless the pics are hiding something), it looks pretty good. Your masking came out very clean too :)

Thanx, don't worry, the pictures aren't hiding anything. The masking was a pain, I cut to deeply in some cases resulting in the body having a slashes. You can't see it in the picture because the gloss basically hides it. See the picture.

yea the car looks pretty nice..if i ever did something like that i would screw up horribly

Thanx Viperkilla for the comment, I'm better at painting than modding, so this was easy for me compared to my 'remove the cripple capacitor' mod. (I fried 2 cars that way).

who cares what ur gf and bro says! thats one nice paintjob, better than like everyone of my 10+ project cars hehe

nice job except for the windows:p

It was raining when I painted, lol. Just kidding.

sure looks like it

Beautiful paint work!

The only thing I saw was a little evidence of the clear on the windows, but you can lose that with a light tint.
Very nice.

A light tint? What would I need to get that light tint?

I like the look of the windows. Good job!!

You should have told your brother's girfriend that SHE looks dirty... then offered up a spanking... oh well, too late for all that.

I think it looks great, man... I'd drive the hell out of it.

:D

i think the windows that look cool

Need help on what to do with my wanna be car
 

Hey i just wondering how u guys put design on the cars.
I am trying to build this flared accord.

:bdrop:

I think that it looks pretty good. As with everything, you'll get better with time. Painting is not the easiest thing to do (especially
masking)
