I've done one car with a bat and not screwed up paint. heat guns and LOTS of time. LOTS.

Dang man. I am too scared to roll my own fenders. Paint an body work is usually where I draw the line lol. I do have my fenders rolled though. Just trying to pick the wheels to shove in there lol.

I practiced on older cars before I ever did a newer one, lol. The key is heat and going as slow as possible :)

Sneak preview time for paint! started sprinkling outside so i stopped for the day.

mr_miles · 02-23-2012, 04:11 PM

all that's left to add pink to is the uncovered spots for the front of the seat mounts :D

Waiting for dry weather so i can re-attach my fender together, lol

The mod podge is more so to protect the stickers themselves from deteriorating in the elements.

true but in my case i wanted to give time for the adhesive on sticker to cure before spray....

still trying to figure out where to put the spikes, since the holes for the tabs on the rear toyota emblem are not straight :( I'll probably still put them on the front where my liscence plate is, whenever i get around to mounting it on my lip, lol.

Finally got around to mounting my ski rack!

Stickers still holding up and lip is on tight.....

mr_miles · 03-03-2012, 03:32 PM

couple things: removed stickers from knee-knocker! Sooner or later I'll write up the DIY on removal. it is silly and simple. there is a small amount of mod podge remaining on the piece since i haven't finished the removal process :p

Oh look, that piece of plastic I needed so my alternator will stop getting soaked, yay! If i would have realized how important this piece was to keeping your alternator WORKING, i'd have gotten it a long time ago.... Oh yeah, I painted it. just need the skid plates now.
Yes, that's a yaris windshield (pretty much immaculate, too). tell me how to sell it, i refuse to throw away good glass! can i sell it?

Got bored today and washed the car. would have went into uber detail mode, but weather kind of kills that. detailing as soon as rain stops...

I like the shade of gold my camera turns the wheels. TOO BAD THEY GETTIN PAINTED

more pictures soon, gotta finish painting and such. anyone know a part number for the belt i need when i remove my A/C? might do that tomorrow if the weather permits.

Too bad you're so far away. I would take that windshield off your hands in a heartbeat for Crashy.
