4th Generation Graphite Gray Pearl Gen 4 Camry

Finally got my car painted to the lancer evolution's graphite gray pearl. It turned out lighter then I expected however I'm 100% satisfied with it. The paint is actually very dark gray during daylight but turns purplish during night time (its PIMP haha). Only the exterior was painted, door jams, engine bay and trunk is still the stock color. The car was painted at MAACO on Reavis Barracks (in STL). My friend told me this was the top of the line paint job, the cost without hookup was around $1500 and I paid much less. And this truly looks like their top of the line because the paint is very smooth, hopefully you can see it in the pictures.

This was the day after I picked it up so no wash or photo editing. I can only hand wash with very light soap for a month, no waxing or anything so I'll update when I wash it.

Enjoy!

















Look at this sexy ass.

Thanks guys, I made sure this paintjob will last with the guy that hooked me up so we'll see. I have warranty through him so everything should work out. The other two holes in the bumper was where my fogs were in the first place but I decided to move it. Doesn't really bother me.

The yellow headlights are going to stay there until I can afford clear lenses to do a proper retro, I already have projectors waiting. I just need to do the labor.

I'll update this post when I get some better pics.
