so she's ready to get sprayed this week, staying stock garnet pearl. minus badges and antenna. the supra wheels are also in the process of getting resprayed too, silver but darker than the stock silver. im so excited

 

nice cant wait to see what it looks like

 

that looks all too familiar

I did the same shaved badges and antenna...

but I went a little different color.... not that stock wasn't pretty, I just wanted something a little... different...

 

while you are there, take the quarter glass and the door trims off.

 

awesome bro- happy for you- should look great

 

I highly recommend doing this as well... it's maybe an extra 1-2 hours worth of work, but makes the whole thing easier, and look better as well...

 

Looks awesome, Marc! Can't wait to see her when she's all done I also need them to roll my fenders! Good work, dude.

 

Congratulations, its nice having fresh paint!

 

Can't wait to see the finished outcome! How much is the respray going to run you?

 

I definitely agree... nothing more than walking out to the car and not seeing a single dent, ding or chip in the paint...

 

thanks for the support guys! i've been waiting patiently for this moment for awhile. ever since i totaled my pristine 96 pdw sc3. now i will have a straight 92 1j'd 5sp s250! woot. as for the comments by mitsu and aliga, are you talking about the chrome trim? like in total removal? i think gettin rid of the chrome is a good idea. i will talk to the shop as soon as i get ure reply. thanks

 

I don't necessarily mean don't put it back, I mean take it off to paint the car...

I'm up in the air about removing it entirely... I've thought about going both ways- repainting it OEM, or repainting it all black...

 

i painted mine black and it looks great. pull it off and paint it, much easier.

 

definetely pull it off so there are no tape lines.

as for painting it, i would powdercoat it black.

 

Hey what shop is doing the work? Since you're sticking with the stock color, I'm assuming that you're just spraying the exterior and not the door jambs right? How much is it costing you total?
