the paint sorda changes in different lighting, its plenty shiny in the right light. but it hasnt been color sanded yet, im gonna do that here in a few weeks. the car was the garnet red color.the color is smokey granite mica, factory lexus color. i was debating on the smoking the taillights just slightly. i only paid $1600 for it all. yeah i know its on the cheap side but the car is 15 years old and has 200xxx miles on it. i dont have big money like most of the folks thats on here so i have to do everything in steps.it WILL look awesome soon enough, just give me time people..

 

for $1600 thats a pretty good paint job. Hurry up and color sand!

 

More / better pics. There is a lot of shadow and glare in those 2.

 

..............

 

Looks great for $1600. Keep up the good work, post up pixs once its wetsanded and buffed! And tint them windows.

 

yeah....get it color sanded, would you!!! 1600 ....good deal

 

I agree, you got a killer deal on the paint job. Did you do it through the dealer?

 

A bit flat IMO

 

... Color is awesome no doubt...!!!!

The yellow on the taillights though... I dont know... you have to do something about that quick. I too have the same taillights and I just dont like them at all. Red with clear or even red with smoke taillights on your new paint job now I think would look perfect.

Out of curiosity...... your interior color looks to be the tan color. Any plans on changing or doing something with that to improve the exterior/interior color combo?

Nevertheless... cool choice of color...!!! Congrats...!!!

 

the interior is actually gray

 

i think ur car looks good
keep it up

 

Looks great dude! That is a good color choice for the sc. What are your future plans for it?

It looks really clean now all shaved up, but would be even better with a drop and newer tails.

 

I think the 92-96 front bumper just looks weeeeird without an emblem on it. Not a fan of debadged front bumpers.

The rear looks awesome though.

 

Very nice color, awesome metallic flake in the rear quarter panel picture..The hood could use some sanding and buff...I noticed a lot of body shops are very lazy about sanding...

 

get a griffin badge and mount it on the front bumper. It will be $60 well invested.
