Yodaone, can you ask them what kind of paint was used on Gen 1's? From primer, base, to clear. Was it urethane or ?
What was the body dipped in?

Also the above pictures look like they are from the Lexus body repair manual. So yes they can be repaired to original type condition as long as the instructions are followed, especially when it comes to the sealing of the panels.

 

I'm not a bodyman, but relayed a summarization of what was received.

A body shop that specializes in Lexus should be informed and able to explain Toyota's Lexus LS400 manufacturing process without too much difficulty for those interested.

Would appreciate learning if other Lexus centric body shops express this same sentiment on repairing vs. replacing rear quarter panels.

 

Wow, those are some great pages on the UCF20 frame! Would you happen to have anything on the UCF10/11, aptoslexus?

Sorry to go off topic from this thread.

 

I started this thread because i couldnt find much for body work in any of the lexus forums. if people can find diagrams for their cars (even if its not our gen or model) in this thread i dont see any harm. I hate pouring through a thread to find info thats irrelevant to me. So anything thats helps anyone helps everyone.

 

Nope. All I have is for the 98.

 

That's very thoughtful of you! Thank you.

Oh, well. It was worth a try! Thanks for the UCF20 info.

 

I just checked the all data i have at the shop and it doesnt look like it has access to the body work section sorry, but if you need anything else let me know

 

No worries at all, NotSoJibby.

I don't really need the info on it, but I always like to have any maintenance documents handy.

 

Well if you need a resource for them let me know! Cheers man
