i am going to be on the car all weekend doing the body work and primering. im not after a showstopper paint job. we will be taking out all dents, planning to spend atleast a full day with 2 people on the body work.

removing dent on the door, cutting the rear fenders back from the horrible rolling someone did, just overall doing a nice straightening. it is currently white/black stripe combo.

i am 99% on just doing it all white except for the window trim/mirrors, ect. does anyone photoshop by chance that could make the car all white for me? my computer doesn't even have paint anymore or i'd ghetto one up for myself.

bad/old pic but it will work.. the hood will be white also with my black hood pins. should look pretty clean i think.
 
I was going to suggest the same color. It is the color Lexus uses, my buddy that was in a body shop class was trying to get me to paint my car this color when I was going to repaint it but ended up never getting it done.

do NOT do pearl, i have a pearl clear coat, and while yes, it looks awesome, just wait till you need to have something else painted, unless you have paint from the original batch it never looks right. Stick to factory white. And shoot the whole car in white, trim and all.

i am not changing from factory white. i think you guys who replied got confused.

i am doing oem white, i was just wondering if anyone had pics of an oem white notch without the black stripe down the center. i will still be spraying the window trim/mirrors black like factory.

just no more black stripe down the middle.
 
good enough for me. we are gonna go over all the other trim and re-black it.

i think it will look good all white, worst case when the time comes ill put the black stripes on i guess.

thanks, btw dude.. get motivated again. drove my car the last 7 days, boost is F'ING FUN
 
I might be selling my tremac

hmm keep me posted.

spent all weekend doing body work on the :taco:. theres like 3 tiny dings left on the whole car. got the fenders with massive warping/chipping/jagged edges, huge door dents, front bumper split, full row of roof dents, holes in roof from ssp lights and lots of misc damage FIXED.

it ain't pretty but it's so much nicer of a car already. :D if only my bloody, cut to fawk hands felt the same.
