Don't paint a Celica.
Don't paint a car for 200$ with your mates
Don't paint a car based on an anime car
The end
>>13924149
For a shits and giggles car sure. If it's your DD don't.

You wouldn't be retarded for doing it to a front wheel drive car. You would be retarded though if you did it because you confused the Celica with the Corolla.

There is a lot of black on that car, black is the hardest color to spray. Every single imperfection will show. Very bad color for a first time painter.
Prep work is a bitch, you may paint for 1 day but it may take you 2 weeks to get all the prep work done. Do the prep work right, get in google and also check out the professional how-to videos on youtube. You could be the best sprayer in the world, but if the prep work is done wrong it will still look like shit.
Controlled environment is everything, read the back of your paint can to see what temperature it likes to be applied in. It's usually around 20-22 Celsius. Try to reduce the humidity as much as possible. Clean the area DAYS before you plan to paint so there is no dust in the air. If it's a concrete floor pouring soapy water on the concrete the morning of will keep all the dust down. I hope I do not have to obviously explain you need to do this in an enclosed garage or space that is protected from the elements...
Get an inline water filter on your air compressor hose, to keep any moisture out of the paint.
Wear breathing protection, an actual air purify respirator (pic related) not some shitty SARS mask. When you see the amount of paint stuck to the filter after you are done you will realize how much paint you kept out of your lungs. If you do not do this, you will literally wake up the next day feeling like you smoked 100 packs of cigarettes the day before. I know this from experience... Also, get an exhaust fan and blow that shit out of your paint area while you are painting!
Actually get a mixing cup and mix the paint properly, just because you can eyeball cake mix or pancakes does not mean you can do the same on very picky paint compound.

oh you think i painted it like the tofu delivery mobile. i painted it black, but what i meant is that i did it myself.
>>13926813
you should have said that man
i imagined a fiero with tofu shop stickers
>>13926827
oh dude fuck no, that would be autistic. im sorry, haha.

P100 is the cartridge for isos.
I think OSHA requires a pumped clean air respirator, but I don't think it's required if cartridge schedules are in place. not sure.
either way spraying isos scares me and it's the main reason I haven't painted my own cars.

a Panda scheme, or any two-tone for that matter only looks good on angular, square cars.
Your Celica is too round to look good with it.

How does paint color have anything to do with the drivetrain?
>>13924298
>Don't paint a car based on an anime car
But thats the best way to do a stealth Itasha
>>13926659
Post pics of the fiero? 4 cyl? 6 cyl?
>>13928685
There was one of those for sale near me only 15k
i wonder how hard it would be to work a set of original headlights in there, since this was a rev3 with the boring lights.
I kind of want to take an AW11 and give it a panda paint scheme. It's perfectly angular as >>13926897 stated.
As long as it's just the two tone paint job, go for it. AE86s came from factory with that scheme in a bunch of colors. Don't do the tofu sticker and a black hood unless you get a carbon fiber one if you want to be stupid.
Two tone, boxy cars are the shit. Not sure how great it would look on a round Celica, but photoshop it and see.
Any idea on how I should properly paint my 96 Acura Integra?
>>13930021
Jesus christ, why do all Integras look so horrible and ratty? They're by far the most consistently shitty looking cars. Did Honda skimp on the factory paint or do the owners just fuck them up?
Spend a few thousand and give it a proper paintjob in one color.
>>13930031
The guy I bought it off of decided to reprint it. Didn't sand off the old paint and used spray paint. On the front bumper he ran out and just gave up
>>13930041
Was he filipino?
Every filipino guy that i know that has owned an Integra usually buys one with shit paint spray paints it black or primer black, then when it turns to shit they say its "flat black" then try to black out all the lights (including headlights) then sell it on CL for 1-2k what they paid for originally.
This is also after 1/2 of them cut the springs and say its JDM because they bought Recaros for it.
