you know what pecx, that bug is bodacious to me. that moss candy green looks great WITH the rust and the chrome bumpers with yakuza camber.

but i'm not sur if it's really good air brushing or what because the rust is even clear coated. won't the rust eventually rot through even the clear coat? i not know. we need an experienced body man; erick? Rick (a.k.a. H8S)?

i've forgotten how much i like the old bugs when they're slammed.

lol, check out the moving dolly in the back.

Ive seen some good airbrushed rust paint jobs but this one is too good.
rust can be clear coated and eventually eat thru the clearcoat, but that might take anywhere from months to years.
the beauty behind it is that all you got to do to fix that is scuff it and clearcoat it again:)

maybe we as 86 owners can make our corollas trendy since most of them already have rust on them anyways...lol prolly not tho
