ohioko4s4 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I stopped by this evening to check on the progress Beege is making on the car. Damn, that guy is a good painter. :-D I've finally met someone as anal as I am. If anyone is considering high end paint work, he's the man....PM me if you want his contact info. So it started out something like this a week after we got it in August: http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p239/ohiok04s4/22071772_scaled_258x193.jpg And has progressed to this....8 months later http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p239/ohiok04s4/Supra-1.jpg http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p239/ohiok04s4/Supra4.jpg Some cage shots (courtesy of the legendary Gary Reese) http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p239/ohiok04s4/Supra8.jpg http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p239/ohiok04s4/Supra9.jpg The man himself starting the first base coat http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p239/ohiok04s4/Supra11.jpg http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p239/ohiok04s4/Supra12.jpg We should hopefully get the paint complete within the next month, then off to Accelerated Performance to put back together. I think Beege and I counted 3 or 4 bolts that remained on the car, so should take just a week or so to put it all back together We're hoping to race the car for the first time July 28th at the NOPI Milan, MI race for those interested in coming up to watch.

98fiveseven1647545503 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 looks good jamie. whats the deal with 8 months? seems like a long time to get rollin on a paint job. apparently the car was TOTALLY stripped down the cage built/welded in and body work is tedious work that takes a little while to do it completely right. And seeing how the car is on a "rotisserie" (sp) the are really wanting a "perfect" car. Which in turn takes HOURS upon hours. A bunch of Spraying it on and sanding it back off. Looks fucking amazing Jamie!! I have a good picture what that color should look cleared and yes amazing. Where is this guy from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohioko4s4 Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Thanks everyone. Yea, Gary couldn't get to the cage until late October, so the car sat for about 2 months. He finished towards the end of January with all the chassis work. Then Don had the car for about 6-8 weeks for mock-up. Then it went to paint 4 weeks ago. Beege works on this car weekends/evenings and already has over 150 hours into it. The amount of detail into this car is unreal. As for the motor, pretty similar to Boost Logic's 06 car.....

Got-Boost? Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Looks great! What is the official name of that Blue....? Just want an idea of what it will look like when complete..... :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohioko4s4 Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 It's actually OEM Toyota Spectra Blue Mica. You'll see Tundra's, Celica's and Rav4's occasionally painted this color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is this guy from? Thanks. Beege (Bill) is from Akron. I did a lot of research on who I wanted painting this car and Beege was in a class of his own. I encourage anyone looking for high end paint work to call him. He doesn't like to work on Chevy's though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 He doesn't like to work on Chevy's though then he must be one of the greatist painters ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
