Rob_Mitchell Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Lee left his supra with us to carry out a full repaint in stock silver. The body is actually in nice shape with just a couple of little dings. The vehicle had a dragonball wrap and has completely wrecked the paintwork, well the wrap pulled most paint off with it. We are also going to be doing a rear washer and wiper delete and this is a screen out repaint for better results. The paintwork has gone a bit dull and definately had paintwork done in the past as some of the silvers are different colours. Going to start stripping her down today, so ill post more pics as i go. Lee just wants it back looking mint, so thats what he is going to get................... Car as it stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetrashcanman Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Nice car! Always liked the Abflug Type 1 spoiler. Ah is that what that spoiler is, I do like that look on a supra, might have to get an Abflub type one when I get my next one. Look forward to seeing what you do with this Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Rob, can you PM me the amount you quoted Lee for this? Just trying to get an idea of numbers in my head. Thanks Mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 This thread is going to be such a tease... I cant believe you let me use the Gold Rush Supra as a courtesy car I wish!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I can't believe the damage the Dragonball wrap has done. I looked long and hard at this car when it was up for sale and I know Gary looks after his vehicles. Looking forward to the pics of the finished job. Not sure if I would have gone 199 Silver again though. BMW or Lambo grey ftw..!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 When I removed some of the writing from the paintwork it came off fine but I did heat it up well, My sticker man did say if you don't heat it well it could snap pulling off paint def if its had a paint job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Not sure if I would have gone 199 Silver again though. BMW or Lambo grey ftw..!! H. I hadn't considered another grey/silver as I quite like the look of this in 199. I was toying with a change to black but I'd have to see the other shades before agreeing - maybe Rob will get the Supra back in a few years for an update When I removed some of the writing from the paintwork it came off fine but I did heat it up well, My sticker man did say if you don't heat it well it could snap pulling off paint def if its had a paint job Some of the places where the wrap did snap off left the paint in tact, the bits where the paint came off were heated just right - not too hot or cold. It came off easily so it was not too cold and I had my hand on the wrap checking the temp and still have the hair on my knuckles so it was never too hot!!

Rob_Mitchell Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 I have never seen a wrap not cause damage, its all down to the quality of vinyl and obviously the age of it. More pics later. Everything is stripped, its glass out day today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Im actually a day behind on pics, but here is the other days progress The current state just looks like a bare shell , windows are out ect and doors are off and stripped.

JasonR24 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 cant wait to see the result theres someone else having a respray in stock silver but has now added a flake/tint to the paint so it looks stock but in certain angles/light it has a special look to it. thought about going this route?

charlton Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 The current state just looks like a bare shell , windows are out ect and doors are off and stripped. I don't like seeing a Supra in this state, it looks like its been left on a council estate cant wait to see the result theres someone else having a respray in stock silver but has now added a flake/tint to the paint so it looks stock but in certain angles/light it has a special look to it. thought about going this route? I hadn't really given it much thought to be honest, I just wanted to get it back to how it should look. I'd have to see it before going for it but I think it will still look stunning with stock silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Oh Lee your front bumper toyota badge broke, do you want to fill the holes up or get a new badge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Plethora Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I should hopefully be in a position where I can get a respray soon so watching with interest Can autoglass take the rear screen out or is it a case of smashing it and then getting on to autoglass? I'd like a propper windows out respray so would be looking to get hold of all the seals etc and I hear getting those back quarter windows out is a bit of an art.

Yeah side windows are a PITA! my hands are wrecked, plus they eat stanley blades lol. We get a local glass company to get screens out BUT even then there is a chance of them breaking, were not held responsible if they do though. Makes the repaint job much better imo.
