And my Land Cruiser went, here are the pics of her new paint job, still needs a few touch ups but I just wanted to show her off reall bad, hope you like her!!!!!











All comments welcome!!!!

I don't really care for the camo look, but that doesn't look bad. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think I woulda put a high gloss clear coat on there. But it looks good man.

Later,
Chrome...

Thanks Chrome It was my first paint job in a while so i wanted to put gloss and everything on so it looks pretty

Nice paint job
Looks great skyline kid!

Now go beat the shit out of it thats what there made for

I would have gone flat clearcoat since it's a camo. Though, along with the camo paint, I'd also do something to cover up the chrome on the front end (probably a grey paint instead). And I assume the back windows were already painted, and you just didn't want to strip them?

Looks nice, but as a camo job, it'd be easy to find.

Ditto, I would have used all flat colours w/ a flat clear coat. Great job otherwise

It looks really good, if you could find some real CARC paint and paint one that would be really cool.

Gloss or not it still looks pretty pimp. Maybe a little more green though.

Thanks Guy, i really appriciate all the comments I mixed all the colors myself and i might end up taking your advice and flat coating it, but for now im having way too much fun beating the shit out of her

Looks nice, good job. As far as flat coating it, you can get there without re-spraying by some really fine wet-sanding. Get some 800-1200 grit wet sandpaper and do it in a sink with water dribbling. Fold or cut the paper to about the size of a quarter and use really light circular motions, like doing a scale wax job. Sometimes wet-sanding a gloss finish ends up looking better than a flat coat anyway, a little more satin like.

Thanks Superfly I gotta try that, probably tonight, i'll make sure to post some pics when im done
