Hell yeah! That color is the sweetest thing I've ever seen around here for a while.
Now head to Africa and blend in the landscape

Yeah. Spent $350 at the body shop for the paint job after spending roughly $200-$250 on sandpaper, rocker panel spray etc. I was going to roll on some paint myself, but after all the time I spent doing the prep I figured $350 was CHEAP for paint and probably saved me another 15-20 hours of work.

Yeah, but ALL they did was buy the paint ($100-$150 I think), mask off the windows etc and spray the outside. I did ALL the prep, and all the final wet sanding and buffing.

Saw the title, "Transformation Complete" and figured I had to look.... I've never seen one complete... Mine sure isn't.. I just keep changing things/adding things... transforming.

Very nice

Well.... not exactly "complete" I guess. I have plans in the future for ARB front and maybe a rear bumper with tire carrier and jerrycan holder, but other than that I like her just the way she is!

Get in touch with MOT and get your hands on a Toyota OEM snork kit. It'll complete the nato look perfectly.
