What tires are they?

I prepped and painted a piece of plastic to see how it matched. I also tried to paint a set of eye lids. I didn't take the paint to any of the body panels.

 

Dunlops

 

I know but there's no way that's anywhere close to super white haha. Screw I'm painting it something crazy like red or pink. Really stick out.

 

Pink for the win!!!!!!! Do the back bumper pink and your all set. Will give you that pop you need to really stand out lol

 

Oh. They'd be perfect for trading a vehicle in!

Go big or go home!

FWIW, the Krylon Fusion white isn't a terrible match. That's what I used on my headlights.

 

Did you ever try the factory matched rattle cans they sell online?

 

Here you go Miguel. Sell yours for 18-20K and buy this. http://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/cto/3516040714.html

 

Made by who, Toyota??

I tried Duplicolor, Paintscratch.com and one other place (can't remember the name). Duplicolor was a waste of money, it wasn't even remotely close. Paintscratch.com actually gaurantees their spray cans to match. The first batch didn't match, I told them and they sent a second batch for free. The second batch was a lot closer, but still not really what I was looking for. I still have the stuff in my basement actually. I was going to maybe do something on the interior with it (like the silver rings around the gauges). Just need to get amitious and get to it.

I should have kept my truck and bought that 4Runner instead.

 

Wow! Adding a tonneau increases fuel economy by 6-9%

That's a lot of miles for a 2008.

 

I think it's the extra gear the automatic has

 

I dont want a 2gen or a 4 door. I would rather first gen and access cab. But thanks for looking.

 

Not sure the name but I found one that guarantees it to be exact after primer and 3 coats but I cant remember the name. This was about 8 months ago. I did look into the "paintscratch.com" site at the sametime but the site just didn't look legit enough for me haha.

I'm looking to paint the interior as well just haven't gotten around to it like the 20 other things I haven't gotten to. Interior painting is a day process with a lot of patience... Two things I never ever have hah

 

Why not a 2nd gen if its within the price range? No offense to 1st gens here...

 

WOW. Almost to 1000 posts. 17x that and I'm at Mikes level

 

Because you know..................NOT GOING THERE

 

post count doesn't matter I've been here 5 months and have more lol. Just depends on how active you are, If your post help others, etc.

 

Hah I was just saying cause he has almost 17k posts. 1000 is a milestone though. I took March-December off. Truck was on vacation from its intense 3 months on here.

 

Lol
