Default pics of the engine bay painted..............

the spray out card.........http://xpupload.hpphoto.com/servlet/...7a98259b&size=


first color coat over white base........http://xpupload.hpphoto.com/servlet/...373a6629&size=


third coat of color.............no pearl or clear yet.......http://xpupload.hpphoto.com/servlet/...6d826941&size=

more pics to come, I know some of you DON'T think this is a good choice of colors for the car, but its my favorite color and all my projects get sprayed different shades of orange. This is my latest and greatest kandy color combination, the Blue motor should contrast well and let all the details stand out!

Is this the same color as your previous supra?

If I did that, I wouldnt be able to sleep at night, thinking about all the leftover nuts and bolts after putting everything back together.

Default nope different color.................

This color will be different than CitrikAcid, and will also be diff. than my Supra. It is House of Color, components but I made this color myself..................so I'll have the only one this shade until someone figures out the formula!......LOL

I'll be getting the car back to install the motor, then the rest of the car will be painted. And Yes all the windows will be coming out for the paint job, except the windsheild. Trying to find a right hand drive windsheild is not easy, i cannot risk it getting broken. As far as the nuts and bolts go I might have a few left over but, oh well. I think the last count I had was like 150 or so nuts and bolts that I CHROME plated. Everything that bolts back into the bay is CHROME.....................

Shot the pearl coat and clear today, the pics don't do it any justice. I guess I'll have to buy a high resolution camera?
