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

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

      Hi guys! I'm Alberto, I just finished importing a HZJ73 from Japan and I love it! The car came without spare wheel holder and it seems discounted so I don't know what do to. Someone knows where I can find it or what else works as replacement?

      Can I put a 2010 bumper on my 2008 Camry ?

      I have a 2008 Camry altise and recently damaged the front bumper and i'm wondering if I can fit a 2010 sportivo bumper on to replace it. It looks like it fits I know I will need to get new headlights for it to fit but do I need to do any modifications or will all the plastic clips and screws line up ?

      Anyone else tried these seat covers ?

      these seat covers look pretty good, but I've had bad experience when trying to fit some cheaper ones I bought online - they say custom fit, anyone else tried them ? Would love to know before I buy them, thanks all https://mycustomcar.com.au/

      am2 fuse blowing

      Hello, i have a 1996 starlet The problem is when i turn the key the fuse blows, and i have been looking over the wiring and can’t find any shorts or damaged wire. The car would not crank over because of the fise blowing. I found out that if i disconnect the transponder key ecu the fuse is holding, but as soon as i connect the transponder the fuse blows. So i wonder if there is something I can try out? should i just buy a new transponder box or is it something else i could try? and is it not kinda wierd that the box is the problem? I have looked inside the box and cant see any corrosion in the box

      Toyota Celica '96 5S-FE no spark

      Hi everyone, I have spent too much time on my Celica and even my mechanic is stumped at figuring out the issue so any tips will be appreciated. Here is what has been done, immobiliser disbabled, distributor replaced, igniter replaced, EFI relay replaced, and EFI 15AMP fuse is not blown. I tried jumping E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port to try and get a code from the CEL but it doesn't light up, I think it might be burned out so I will have to get on that. I am now clueless about what to do next, it could be the ECU but I can't find any pointers too that.
