Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Factory Paint Availability?

Hey, i ordered the Vizage Urethane Lip kit for my Celi, and since for the most part its all just add-ons, couldnt i save money and just paint it myself and stuck it on there. I mean i know how to do stuff. You guys think that would be a good idea? or still get it professionally installed. Also, if it is a good idea, where can i get some Facory Celica Carbon blue paint/ or somehting that loks that same and will work equally as well. ( because thats the color of my ride)

Well Im sure you could install it yourself. I have the vizage kit and everything seems real straight forward. Painting on the other hand...I would let a professional do that unless you have like your own dust free room with all the tools and stuff...but that's just me

If you don't have a paint booth, get it done proffesionally.

I fancy myself a paint expert around here, and even though I know how to do the paint work, because i don't have a big enough paint booth to do a body kit in, i am going to have a shop do mine. That's my advice, take it how you will.

i know how much trouble it is to paint and make it look good. unless you have a state of the art paint booth, my advice is to take to a professional, so if it turns out like shit, you can blame them. there are a lot of variables when shooting paint, how much dust in the air, moisture, time of day, temperature, etc. o ya and clearcoat, damn thas another thing you have to worry about. well this are all the factors you have to contend with in order to get a good paint job. one thing is for sure, you can mess up really easily.

Thanks for the feedback, how much you think it will run me to take it to pro's to paint it for me, i mean there just sides skirts and rear/front add-on aprons you know...

if you find a good hookup, you shouldn't pay more than about $75 per piece

When it come to pianting always listen to carbon_blue_gt

Yeah thanks, indeed- carbonblue does know his stuff on painting,

-i also have a carbon blue gt, hehe
