If you can afford it, I'd definitely respray the whole car. I was already convinced when we talked on AIM but seeing those pics makes me think that even more. >wink.gif>

New Toyota project coming soon...
yeah that's what I thought.... any idea of a pricing range? I THINK a family friend is doing it, but i'm not positive... but what would a body shop charge me around you?

Probably $1,500-3,000 for a quality job.

Also what's everyone's opinions on the flake... DO you think it would look better with a lil bit more flake to make it pop a lil more?
I think a little more will make it look more like a custom job - assuming you keep the color.

Now it is sort of common/bland looking - but I can't see it in person, and sunlight makes all the difference.

I'd say respray the whole thing, looks more professional.. because it is.

Howeever, there is maaco and earl sheib and the sort - a quick spray, at the same color, might not be bad. that'd probably be about the same price as just fixing it correctly... and then if you need, a better job down the road.

And, I got some quotes for quality spray on my car, IM or PM if you want to hear more..

If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.
