No pictures at this moment as my camera left towards canary isles yesterday morning. (That cheating bastard, someone else is pressing her buttons!) Ok, we went to the best paint shop in town (only 3 blocks away) where I had to pay some real money for all the things we needed. I prepared myself with the paint code (28J, 041 for white and 166 for metallic silver) and took also some parts with us. At the paint shop, we compared the color chart to the parts and we found out that the white part of my aw11 is actually Toyota 040 Super White and not the original Toyota 041 White. Maladar owns a pretty serious paint gun, so we decided to take the gray paint in paint gun version. The white paint for the small parts was taken in regular spray can. Back in the garage, we sanded the eyelids or whatever on top of the bumper and in front of the headlights and tested the white paint. The results were really good and the shade almost exactly right. On top of everything, Maladar signed his masterpiece with his fingerprints 🙂 (strange habit which led to sanding, again)
