Looks like you've done an outstanding job there. I've painted a few cars in my time, and I know it takes a lot of hard work and patience. BTW, Toyota's OEM paint is pathetic.

Thanks Kimona! From my online readings the Japanese cars have flat (low peel, smooth) paint whereas European cars have more peel purposefully. I like the really flat smooth paint that 'was' on my Yaris before I repainted. I'd be interested in hearing about the cars you painted and your process if you're willing to share.
