I chose very gloss black and used the interior and the wheels to make a point...but i only chose two colours at a max three..black/silver/blue..

Supra-Dupra Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Looking good james looks spotless, just one thing id change, that front bumper, but thats just my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Although next respray WILL be a windows out job.Interesting. Why do you say that? My grey car was a 'windows in' respray and I've noticed that around the rear side windows it isn't as good as it could be. Is that what you mean?

LeeT Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 ive still got it in me lol. no really if your not going to share the secret can you make mine shine like that then? i'd say 1500 grit wet and dry and alot of skill:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grey car was a 'windows in' respray and I've noticed that around the rear side windows it isn't as good as it could be. Is that what you mean? Yes, I read on here a few times that a windows out respray can be a pain in the ass trying to get them back in without damaging the seals, and getting new seals too is a costly thing.

jackso11 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I want to know how too make my car shine like that too Supraloopy... I spent 3 and a half hours cleaning my car up last weekend, it didn't look far off yours but I want that shine! A large portion of that time was getting crappy 'Super Advan Racing' stickers off my door from the last owner. Theres something you may be able to help me with. I have got the stickers off, polished it up, looks great. However in some lights you can still see the outline of the old sticker. How do I get rid of that? I have the outline of an out 'Supra' sticker on the back window too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt personally like to attempt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
