Amazing! Looks good! If you are going to get any other body stuff (splash guards or bumpers) now's the time!

Looks good especially for not painting in a booth. Prepare to have overspray in the wheel wells as he didnt back tape the fenders or qtr panels.
Tunermax to do a paintjob right its not needed to start all over on the paint. Aslong as the current paint is in good condition it just needs to be sanded and any chips or scratches fixed otherwise pearl will settle in them and stand out.

I also hope the OP removed the side moldings prior to paint!

Looking good though!

From everything I've heard about candys and pearls, to be done right, to the level shown on the Lexus pictured in this thread, starting fresh is essential.

Of course this can mean buffing hte paint that's on it (if it's in good condition) and starting the process on top of hte old paint. But this can show in seams, rubbing, etc, especially when gaps are tight.

That would be wrong again. It would make no sense to buff the original paint cuz it has to be sanded. Most people think in order to have a paint job the car has to be primered first. That is false. As long as you have a stable base you will be fine. Candys are a different story. As the layers of candy are laid on the thicker the material gets and can get too thick making gaps tighter. Lexus paint is no different or special. As long as quality material is used and the right prep is done a great paint job can be done in a garage with good ventaliation. the only advantage large shops have is mayb equipment and a nice downdraft booth.

Speaking generally, when I said buff, i meant skuff/sand/buff, rough up, you know what i mean.

Thanks for the info.
