Suprababe2 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Want to respray my supra as there's a few marks around it that need tidying.I got the front bumper and passenger door sprayed a few months ago, but despite getting a compound polish after it I'm still not happy with it. I was seriously contemplating the lamborghini grey that a few members have on here but I can't bear to break from black. My boyfriend was on about BMW carbon black but I was just wondering is there any other suggestions you might have for me I don't want anything with a flake through it A member on another site suggested this colour, link is for overhaulin lance armstrong episode... Thinking about smoothing out the back totally by getting rid of the badges and the centre brake light too. I'm going to try source some clear indicators for the front bumper and clear side repeaters,try get a set of facelift headlights and maybe spray mesh black in bumper. Plans sound well or not ? Couple of pics of my car.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 TRD spoiler, fresh respray in 202 black and some nice big gold brakes and that is one perfect Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprababe2 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Thanks very much Gaz6002, I don't drive it fast enough to be investing in a set of big brakes ! Might just paint my own j-spec brakes gold again, very tatty at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you take car of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprababe2 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 He'll take you up on that I bet Dave! Anyway what do ye reckon about 1. Smoothing rear ? 2. Painting calipers gold ? (thanks gaz6002) 3. Facelift headlights ? 4. Clear front bumper indicators/side repeaters ? 5. Spray mesh black ? 6. Get rid of aerial/smooth off ?

JamesC Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Michael had his car de-brake lighteded and de-badged, looks well: I had the badges taken off mine but i wish i had the aerial removed as well, maby the rear wiper too, but that comes in handy sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I just love BMW carbon black, and would seriously consider having that if I was to get mine resprayed, but the original Toyota black is reasonably easy to match, so the event of any mishap, it can be blended really well.

DSK Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 To be honest we have a carbon black M5 within the family circle and IMO its over rated but the name 'carbon black' sounds good to many people. Personally for the Supra I think a gleaming black would be best, may be worth just driving past a few showrooms and searching the net for pictures of black cars, when you see a black you like get the paint code for it and give it to the body shop. I had a black 53' Jaguar XKR. Not sure what the exact name of the black was (ebony black?) but once polished up it looked stunning. May be worth taking a trip to a Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar and Aston Martin and Ferrari dealership to see what black's they have. Here's a picture of my recently cleaned standard 202 Black Supra.

tbourner Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Again I recommend Black Olive. Easily one of my favourite colours. And yes it is still available before you all start saying MGR have gone and you'll be stuffed getting the colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramkivcork Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Token cleaner checking in here : That jag xk looks stunning I must research that colour. Edit: It is ebony black colour code PEC Unfotunately where I'm living there isn't an aston martin or ferrari dealership within 160 miles. Might have a pop into local audi and merc dealerships though. Thanks for the advice. Keep suggestions coming though please! Edited July 28, 2009 by supramkivcork (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
