Got Bored Again..........
So I painted my blown Tacoma to match my Z06. 
I truly have a sickness. I'll be the first to admit it.
It was white and needed paint. Buffing it didn't last long anymore. Painting it white might have satisfied me a bit, but the blue makes me smile.
It has a TRD supercharger on it. (Made by Eaton). Now it's a blownblueTacoma. Took 10 days to complete. Disassembled the entire truck, filled a few dings and straightened a few dents, painted under the hood, in the door jams, in the fenders etc. Stupid me chose to do it in 105+ degree weather.

Thanks bud.
I did photoshop it because I overexposed a few of them and cropped them, but didn't change the size of any components.

I'm going to bring a few projects with me next weekend to leave with you for when you get bored again. 
Can you give a few details re: paint and gun type?
PS: Please tell me you don't have a paint booth at your house...

That Tacoma needs a SC just to turn over those giant wheels. 
Gotta love the EB. I had an '03 on order in my favorite color at the time (EB) but I found my black '02 with less than 300 miles on it for almost 9 grand less, so I decided to cancel my order, and live with black.

Devilbiss guns. Separate color and clear guns. I did everything except spray the color and clear. The painter came with the booth.
