Just playing around with some old paint to come up with a good paint sceem . Body work is not done yet . You guys / gals think this would be a possible paint job for the beast . need help

turkey tom · 10-30-2009, 01:53 PM

Thank you , I will keep in mind any ideas are great ideas .

Tom, are you looking to repaint the entire car? Of the above, what is photoshop and what is not? As far as the body work, what is left? I think that getting rid of the sheet metal screws (lip and scoops) and a proper fitment, you could have a great looking ride. Add a drop to it and you're good to go.

Iwill do some pics when all done , and yes that rc antenna is gone . but wheel and tires are next.

turkey tom · 10-30-2009, 02:10 PM

This was just done today , no photoshop was done , what you see is what it is . I,m going paint the hood and front clip for now . I know the screws look bad but its better than duck tap .ha,ha . The hood scoops will be molded to the hood , and will not be any screws when done . Thankl you for your ideas.

turkey tom · 10-30-2009, 03:22 PM

I,m all up for ideas , what would jdm look like , don,t want to be a RABBIT .

Please, for the love of god, get rid of the poser hood scoops.

A solid, super-glossy black paint job with white pin-striping would be sharp!

turkey tom · 10-30-2009, 05:50 PM

Oh come on , don,t like the scoops ? the beast needs air , ha ha .

cool idea though.

Are you nuts how do you the 750 double pump Holley carburator will get fresh air

TinyGiant · 10-31-2009, 11:37 PM

i say keep the scoops but feather them into the hood with some bondo or something.. then repaint.

I'm really really digging the paint from the hood through the bumper that thin pin outline is sick too. great job! . I agree you need to do something to make those scoops look better.

i would trace the tops of the scoops and cut out the hood. then mount the scoops from the inside so they peek out of the hood. then bondo and smooth them. so they arent as dramatic and will look oem. Then just trim on the underside and bondo/paint that and you'll be set :)

Just change the wheels and you have a great ride :)

ozmdd · 11-02-2009, 02:07 PM

Sorry, not feeling it. I think bringing the paint ino the lower grill/foglight areas is a good idea, but need to see a better execution to really make a decision. All of the radiator/support work showing through the lower scoop/grill is really distracting.

I just can't find a way to like the twin scoops. Maybe only one, asymmetrical?

I'm all for self expression so good luck... just dont' make it look like u went crazy in Pep Boy's Aisle 5 and stuck everything to your Yaris.
