Always liked the ae86 two tone black and white.
Did you take out your lights and take off the bumpers and removable panels for the job? I assume not as they were black and still are, other than the lights. From what I see in your photos

so did you just get the inspiration one day to do the paint yourself? That is a really good job, especially to be the first time

 

[Bulkierzero]

no i didnt remove anything just taped and painted

Yea i wanted a new paint job but didnt want to spend a ton of money so i thought i would do it myself. it cost me less then 400

Painting my other project car, not a supra. We gave it to my fathers mate who is a truck painter, haven't seen it in 9 months so you will be glad to have done it yourself and not having the long wait...

You have a pre89 mirror on the passenger side and a 89+ on the drivers side.
Also im not knocking you paint job but Painting your own car is one of those things that are most of the time "good from far, but far from good"

its cool i wasent aiming for a show car. im going to be hopefully having a good amount of track time mostly drifting and with this dont have to worry about screwing up an expensive paint job

Great job! For never painting before it came out really well I think. 2 tone is tight! Add some black rims

Cool! It would be cheap and cost effective if you paint your car yourself. You can also put up your own design and preferred color.
