Took the paint off of my 85 celica st (it was ratty) then clear coated it to seal in the bare metal look.

I dig it its different, my 2 cents would be get 1200grit and wet sand with a block and then possibly buff the metal might look cool

Love the look, I'm planning to do something similar to my honda since it's an aluminum body, but polish it in the end.

At first glance, it looks like the illegitimate love child of a DeLorean and a Grand National :laugh: It's unique, I love it!
