Thought of you and this thread over the weekend because I follow a YouTuber named, Tyler Fialko. He has a few crazy project car builds and I sometimes watch them when in bed and unwinding before falling asleep. He hadn't posted in about a month but before that, he had a few vids up where they were prepping an area of their workshop for painting. More recently, he came back with a couple vids of him painting his 'whorevette' in that area. For all the chatting that's happened about ventilation, take a look at these crazies!

I'm done all three coats now. Super impressed with the TCP Global 18 mm gun I bought. Put the primer on nice. But like I say, there's gonna be a lot of sanding in my near future. LOL.

Priming is done!
I put 4 coats of the Feather Fill on. Should be lots to block sand and get everything straight.
My plan is to block sand over the next couple days and shoot the base coat and clear coat on Wednesday. Kids will be away and the weather looks great.

I have been toying with the idea of a racing stripe, or double stripes. The other pic I found is of a stripe kit available on eBay. It is around $38.00. It's available in a variety of colors including, gloss black and matte black.
As an aside, all of my sanding is done and I'm on schedule to spray my base coat and clear coat tomorrow. Getting neerrrrvous, here. LOL I think this vinyl kit would look super cool in matte against my Silver Streak Mica! I thought about taping the car off and spraying the stripe on, but chickened out.

Base and Clear Coat Applied
Let me start by saying that this has been an experience that I have enjoyed. I'm not convinced I'll do it again lol. Let me also say that I have an even greater respect for auto body technicians and painters after having gone through this. I watched basically every episode of the Gunman on youtube. This guy really makes it look way too easy.
Basically everythng that could go wrong, did. On the tailgate, the basecoat reacted with something that I'd obviously applied in my earlier repairs and had not removed. It wrinkled up at the two upper corners of the hatch, each about a quarter in size. I have saved enough paint and clear coat to fix this. I'll probably have to repaint the whole tailgate, I'm hoping that the thick clear coat will hold down what caused the wrinkle - that's why I went ahead and cleared. Humidity was very high so I got some clouding in the clear but thankfully it did dissipate. I got some small trash in the clear, but it should sand out. So much for my sealed booth, lol. My sanding of the primer was less that perfect, so there are a few spots that are a slightly different texture. But, the car did reach my intended expectations: it is all one color and it is shiny. I will definitely be color sanding the clear coat as it's a bit orange peely in places but I did use almost a gallon of clear, so I should have lots to sand. About 3/4 of the way through the clearcoat, my hand inadvertently turned down the regulator pressure. Suddenly the clear started going on super smooth. On my gun about 16 - 17 psi works best. I did get a couple runs, but these are easily sanded out. I'd call it a 50, maybe 100 foot paint job, lol. On to the pics: Basecoat: Clear coat:

Parts to reinstall...
I ordered the two front window belt mouldings as the old ones were in pretty rough shape plus I broke the clip on one before figuring out how to actually remove them. The old (rear) ones cleaned up super nice. I wetsanded them with 600 and then 1500 I had laying around. A little Meguiar's polish and a coat of acrylic and they look almost as good as the new ones. I painted the fog light bezels with adhesion promoter and about 6 coats of satin black, then a few coats of the acrylic sealant.
The badges have had 3M tape applied. I'll post up some pics of the car after everything is put back on. I will be repainting the hatch later this summer and possibly the rear passenger door as it has a couple of spots that detract from the overall appearance.

Damn. That really isn't bad for a DIY spray job.
The Gunman on YouTube makes it look so easy.

There are some spots where the clear is not as thick as others. It's still a good covering in those spots. But, I would defintely pay closer attention and plan out a strategy. It's very easy to forget where you left off. Overall the car looks decent, I suppose, in that it is all one color and fairly glossy. I'm having second thoughts about color sanding the clear coat. One, I don't want to run the risk of cutting into the base coat and two, it would only make the flaws in the base coat more pronounced.

Bravo for doing all that. Gotta ask though, why not go with a custom colour since you repainted the entire car? Not that there is anything wrong with going with silver.

Primarily, I love silver but the main reason is that I didn't want to have to paint all the jambs, inner doors, under hood, engine bay etc. I have seen some colors that would look amazing on the RS for sure. Most recently was a beautiful root beer brown I saw on one car. I think that if I was repainting though again, I might go for a white. I think white Yari look really great.

Done...
Well, basically done. I still need to remove a lot of overspray - mostly from the older attempted repairs/painting I'd done. Also, a few bits of tape in the grille to remove. I have to paint the screen under where the plate goes. I'm afraid I'll have to do that with a paint brush. Tedius, but don't want any black on the new silver.
All the effort and it looks the same except for a couple things: It's all one color but the paint isn't as good as factory, two, there are no more dents and dings.

Great job, what do you mean the paint isn't as good as oem - what did you notice was different?

Looks like you've done an outstanding job there. I've painted a few cars in my time, and I know it takes a lot of hard work and patience. BTW, Toyota's OEM paint is pathetic.

Thanks! Because I didn't sand enough the metallic flake didn't settle uniformly. In certain lighting, you can see the rougher texture. The metallic isn't completely uniform across all panels of the car. I think my spraying is not bad and if I'd had a truly smooth surface, it would have been more uniform and 'flatter', less peel effect. The primer went on quite peely and despite a fair bit of sanding - and it feeling smooth to the touch - it resulted in a somewhat textured base coat in areas.

Thanks Kimona! From my online readings the Japanese cars have flat (low peel, smooth) paint whereas European cars have more peel purposefully. I like the really flat smooth paint that 'was' on my Yaris before I repainted. I'd be interested in hearing about the cars you painted and your process if you're willing to share.
