Finally painted my SVX

[reptar_head]

Well, after a couple of months of procrastination and letting the SVX just sit in the garage half finished, I finally got it all done. It started because the drivers door had a ton of filler in it that started to crack and fall out, and it annoyed me. I figured I fix that and maybe start to think about painting the whole thing, and it just snowballed from there.

I did all the body and paint work myself, it's definatly not perfect, but at least I can say I did it (In a rental storage unit no less). The color is graphite grey metalic, from a Lexus IS300. The top is black, although the whole car looks black until you're really close and the sun is shining on it. Only then do you realize it's two toned. So here's a bunch of pictures.

Here she is bone stock the day I brought her home. She pretty much looked like this, just a little worse after the couple years I've driven it.
