finally paint!!

[khoadogg]

after numerous track events, diff sets of wheels and 6 diff shades of white due to the front bumper, sides, rear wangan, rear bumper, fenders and stock household painted car (previous owner) I have finally dropped the car off for paint and bodywork.

Originally wanted to do a fushia color but opted for the white w/ white pearl and a ton of clear coat since that's why I want my lexus to be. Taking it back in 2 months for color sand and buffing. At that time, they are also going to reclear the hood. They already did the door jams but I left the trunk, engine bay and gas door jam black.

Any feedback or suggestions are always welcome! Previous pics and

they leave it out like that to dry? and not in the paint booth? better make sure they sand n buff that good, because of all the dust that im sure is flying around a paint shop, could lead to rough paint...other then that, car looks good cant wait to see the final result

I was going to take off the wing but the previous owner mounted it pretty tight and I figured; I can always buy another deck lid and have that painted separate.

They had it in a booth for awhile now it's in a separate room to dry for a few days. I'm coming back in about 2months to have it color sand and buffed along w/ reclearing the hood.

Hahha, let me know about those advans!!!!

I've had this car for over a year and it's had all kinds of white on it. I can't wait to be able to wash and wax a car again!

Anybody have wheel color suggestions? I have a set of work equips I'm going to dedicate to NASA track events
