86 Sunsport NEW PAINT !!!

[olivier_20]

Hey guys ! me and my buddy have made a new paint job on our 1986 Supra Sunsport and we are more than pleased with the result !!! We have planed to slowly restore/upgrade the boat so last year we made a big engine maintenance+ venturi exhaust + tranny restoration but this year we were pissed of the old fade paint we have to compound every summer.... We found a name for our Supra and it's Le Sharkcuteur !! (it's a wordplay french/english name with it's style and it mean : butcher !!) So here a bunch of pics of our entire process from pretty much the begining to couple days ago , we still have a lot to do before we launch it in the water !!

Before the old timers come in.... I just want to say that, I LOVE THIS!!

I'd add some rounding/shading to the teeth but that's just me. You had a real artist work on your boat. When does he want to come do mine?

Thanks man ! yeah the teeth was a hard part and it was so long to do that we decide to do some ''standard'' teeth and only 2 broken one instead of playing with shade and forms. The bottom gum ans most part of the teeth should be in water but when we gonna move all the mouth will come out off water. We put a lot of hours into this and we are proud of what we've done. We had no choice to share that we all of you guys !!
