I am just miserable looking back at these pictures of the first time that we painted this SC400 last year. The paint had a horrible chemical reaction when placed out in the sun. We painted it again and the exact same problem occurred as soon as the car was placed in the sun a greasy halo appeared underneath the clear coat. So finally this time we are in the process of completely chemical stripping this car. What a mess!!! The new car color as you probably guessed is 98 TOYOTA SUPRA QUICKSILVER. I have to say I love this car in that color. I am somewhat tired of BLACK after currently owning 3 BLACK cars.

Yes, I think it is the aircraft remover. I am not 100% sure but I will check with him and report back. The car just looks horrible now. Kind of sad. I just wanted to make sure that there was no chance in hell that the chemical reaction would have a chance of re-occurring a third time. The car also had way too many coats of paint on it, to start a third paint job on it. I chose Quicksilver after the painter said, "why don't we just use SINGLE STAGE BLACK" I about flipped after paying twice for PPG's GLOBAL line of paint, clear system. So to make sure that each and every panel was redone correctly--I chose the 98 Quicksilver paint as my new color. I can't wait for this car to finally be done. Tomorrow I plan on rolling the fenders with my EASTWOOD FENDER TOOL rental. Do most of you guys roll the front as well as the back fenders???? Thanks for your guys input.
That Toyota quicksilver color just might actually work for that car, Good luck with the project.

Should you ever get tired of that silver color, another sexy color to consider in the future would be Renaissance Red/Super Red/Rally Red (3L2)...Even though Red colored (3L2) SC's were produced in large quantities, You just don't see many of them around.

good color choice 
if you have the fender roller might as well do all 4 corners. the front is not that vital. you will be rubbing the inner fenders before you can lower the car enough for the front to be ultra flush with the tire. rolling the rears is easy though.
