Kelly Saad (www.landcruisergrilles.com) painted my LX450. Worth every penny!! (1 Viewer)

He did a complete repaint in Porsche Aventurine Green on my forest green LX450. Blacked out my chrome grille(which wasn't the easiest to do) and headlight trim. Every jamb, every crack, there's isn't a single place I see the original color. The price was upfront and definitely reasonable. He also fixed my rear 4x4 Labs bumper that was smashed in and cut and welded in a new section. Icing on the cake is that he has a quality powdercoater he works with locally in Flagstaff AZ and had my sliders and both bumpers re-coated and it looks fabulous. I'll post up some glamour shots, but if you need any close-ups ill take some for ya. Im super happy with it and get compliments on it all the time. Definitely better than than tired old 90's era green.

I write this because I just noticed he just posted up that he has some empty slots in his 2023 calendar.

here's the cruiser in bright sun light. The color changes depending on the sun or whether its overcast.

picked it up in the rain and had to wash it up when I got home. The close up pictures is the paint after I had it ceramic coated.

Warn Zeon 10s installed to finish it off.

Looks good.

Can you post up the brand of the paint, clear coat, additives that were used?
Cost for supplies versus labor, etc?

Your rear 4x4 labs was smashed? How did that happen? Ive never seen that happen to a 4x4 labs. Is the front bumper tweaked or is that an optical illusion? Did he paint the engine compartment? It looks nice.

Great color. Looks like a Toyota now instead of a Lexus.

Looks great!

Where is he located?

Also, looks as the wheels have had some restoration. Did do those as well?

You’d have to ask Kelly about all that. I asked him to paint it Aventurine green, a 2020 or 2021 Porsche 911 color and he took over from there. I asked for plenty of clear coat and said as little orange peel as possible.

He didn’t touch the wheels, in the last few pics is after I had it ceramic coated and the detailer cleaned up the wheels and coated those as well.

I backed into a concrete base of a light pole that wasn’t lit and dented the hell out it. Found a 4x4labs shell locally in Phoenix and he cut out the bent section and put in a new one.

Looks great! What did you decide to do under the hood/firewall/fender wells and inside door jambs?
