Default the $50 paintjob

It's pretty good actualy. I would've never guessed he paid $50 in materials and spend a few days working on the car to get a such a good result.Check it out: http://www.rickwrench.com/50dollarpaint.html

My camry's paint has been fading the past few years (looks like a POS as a matter of fact). This seems like a good thing to try if you don't wanna spend a lot and have a few days to spare. I think I might try it.[sm=smiley16.gif]

Check this one out too: http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/...art=1&vc=1

Since the guy did it on his dream car and looked nice I have no doubt it will look alright on my camry. Lasts a long time too.

Can be done in 3-4 days. Prep the car, then 2 coats a day and wetsanding, and buff like hell after a total of 5-6 coats. Time consuming but it is worth it on the end.

I just started painting a small portion of the bumper to see how it turns out. If you guys can tell me how to post pics I will be happy to show them to you.
