    thanks guys, yup new lights in the booth and a new camera! lol, the pic shows valspar primer over the body work, and i sprayed a white transtar sealer over the entire car. the tape is 3M yellow tape. its pretty good for the money and comes off clean if you dont get it wet. much better than norton yellow… barf lol, gonna use matrix base on it and morton glamour clear. :rock

    do tell about the matrix base i want to know how it is also

    as for that yellow tape I never liked how it teared still a fan of the 233+ or green stuff

    i see you want to step up your game. nice prep work. i gues i’ll have to try to show you up on that too.:clappy of course i’ve painted a many lexus’s.:rock :p
    what color are you paint this thing? i assume that by putting on a white sealer, that the new owners want a white car, becuase it’s stolen, i mean barrowed.:whistle: :p

    Looks good Mo :cheers I bet you will be happy when you see the tail lights leaving your shop :clappy So do you like matrix better than Debeer??

    January 16, 2011 at 9:01 am #27252

    Looking great as always. Keep up the good work!

    January 16, 2011 at 5:37 pm #27257

    Looks good Mo! Your booth does look brighter in the pics, I take it the new lighting is helping?

    I have always liked the model and body style of Lexus. They still pull in a decent amount of money.

    If you end up liking Matrix maybe they will work with you more about putting in a mixing bank.

    Another great job done mo.. i also have been using the yellow 3m tape for sometime here and haven’t had any issues with it.. for the price it does what i need it to do…
