agreed toyota is very stingy on paint, compared to such makes as subaru etc....

they pile it on untill you have a crash and crack a whole chunck comes off. :lol:

however that is prob the reason why they offer "paint protection" to add that lil extra layer. put at the price they offer -_- prob some1 in a holden was too big to fit in the carpark space behind u and nudge ur ***** a lil :ph34r:

if it makes u feel better my cars got atleast 7 scratches that i can see visibly :o

i already have one but not exactly the same... do u guys know any place. where u can buy those paint... with more variety.?? my colour coding is 8P4

RUNX..... so its one of the few on para rd, right?

i go past there like.. few times a week.. hrrmmm.. i might go there and chek it out..

my car is kinda... crashed b4.. n my front lip is kinda VERY LOOSE... same with my front and rear bumper... :angry: :( the place where i get serviced... said.. they cant fix it.. coz of the alignment is moved and all..

do u guys think the mechanic is correct???

DRF122R...so they have others as well... but... like BLACK is kinda... all the same.... i mean.. its a lot easier to cover it up... isnt it.. but anyway.. i'll go n have a look when i got time.. thx mate

ROMP.... full car!? thats too much for me ($$$)... im hoping respraying just the back... hope it wont cost much.. something like.... $50-150.. just fo' the back..... is that too cheap :blink:

sigh.. just saved enough money to buy myself a grille and weild shield.. now.. i have to spend on this... :angry: !!!!

wow nice!!! damn close to my place..

free quote~!! :D

sweet

yer i didnt know how extensive the paint will have to be.. coz it might cost u $200 to paint the rear bumper

or $800-1000 for full car moderate job

u can pay heaps more than that for diff paints and more layers etc
