    That $2100 is dirt cheap I wanted to get my 04 repainted and they quoted me $350 a panel no body work needed.

    Yours looks great!

    Keep us informed as to how the paint in the door jams and places where its hard to sand holds up. The only thing I have about a color change is paint peeling off in hard to get at places, but your Taco looks great!

    Is that the official Toyota Magnetic Gray for the 2nd gens?

    Looks unbelievable man. The color scheme I'm eventually gonna go with when my truck needs new paint.

    Well if you don't plan on selling it it doesn't matter. Personally I wouldn't sell it after the paint job I think it looks amazing.

    I used to have an IS300 that had some major scratches and hail damage. I had the entire car repainted when it came time to sell it, no dealership in the city would touch it and basically valued it near what they could get them for if it was sold at an auction. Basically everyone appraised it about $3,000 below what it was worth, because the entire car had been repainted. Hell Carmax won't even accept any car as a trade-in if more than two fenders or panels are painted.
