Just showing off my new paintjob...
The colour is honda S2000 red.
This was the first car i've ever painted and it took me the best part of 10 days to do.
Next thing to do will be to get the suspension sorted, get some 15in wheels and good tyres and get the windows tinted.
Also i'm working on a custom tail light assembaly using a matrix of LED's. I'll put pictures up when it's finished.
Hope you like it

What type of paint did you use? How about primers? Nice job, looks tops!
Thanks

Nav2K - I didn't take the engine out, the car was already red, the only reason i resprayed it was because i crashed into the back of an unmarked police car. The front panels needed replacing and spraying, so why not respray the whole car. The most time was taken sanding the original paint back, and fixing the rust in the rear quarters (Look above the rear quarter, there was heaps of rust and now it's completely fixed and smooth, i spent hours trying to get this done properly). Those engine pics are from when i did the original engine conversion ages ago
boofis - the paint is a 3 layer acrylic paint (base colour, pearl then clear layer) and the primer i used was just ordinary automotive primer
As this was the first go at painting a car it has lots of imperfections and dodgy bits, i just helped my friend respray his Mazda Capella and it turned out 10 times better than my car so i think i will have another go at spraying my corolla!, and hopefully i will get an even better result.
