lmao thats a little disturbing.
Awesome looking car at the end of it though even for a vauxhall, the attention to detail with the mods is gotta be 2nd to none.

Bloke needs to get a life.Cars are for driving :o

Driveby, are you reading this? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
After the washing bit I thought he was more or less done, then I look at the side bar on the screen and decide that I have a life even if he hasn't. I can't deny his commitment, it is an outstanding piece of work.
Not sure why he would get the #1 of 835 and then badge it as 600 tho?

This fella is an anti-me.
I can't be arsed to even wash a car.

Jesus, I love to wash and polish my car and spend around 2 hours every other day giving the 4 the once over, my neighbours even take the *BLEEP* :D, however even that site is just to much for me, talking about "how many microns did you take off for that finish" etc etc. I am a little obsessed with keeping the 4 looking good but its only because after 2 days she starts to blotch and go pink in places. I cant use polish that has cutting compound in it as her paint is so think already I'll be down to the undercoat. I'm just using colour magic and ice for now, and its working a treat for me. Someone mentioned using a polish with a dye in it (i thought colour magic did???) but never mentioned what so once my dragon pot is full I'm going to spend the money on getting her reprayed, then I wont have to be so anal about keeping her clean ;)............or will I :P

Only if you use toyota red again. It's krappy crap. (Porus and fades!)
-
I'd love to do something different with her, but it would mean doing all the insides etc to, and that would bump the price right up so probably have to go to red again >:(
-
Might be better using a different make of red I believe that Ford radiant red is pretty close and better resistant to fading. Also get your painter to mix some clear coat in with the last coat of red to seal it up, better protection against the dreaded tin worm. Not that Toyotas rust or anything.
-
I fail to see what is wrong with this... ???
Doesn't everyone do this? :P

Thanks Bazza I'll be sure to have a chat with him and see what he might suggest. I wont go Toyota red again purely for the fade factor, but I will probably stay red due to cost etc. I'll have a word though and see what he says. Wont be for a while yet, have to fill my fat dragon first ;)
