New paint job.

Jeff,  numbers aside, I like your choice. I would rather have a normally aspirated V12 than a turbo...

I've never had the chance to ride in a V12 version, so here's an idea.....
Why don't you drive your M5 and tow your FJ out to our WCR?

Very bitchen car...

Now back to the painting discussion...

I painted my TDM850 myself with Rustoleum (thinned with acetone) sprayed from a cheap Harbor freight like sprayer.  You get what you pay for but I'm happy with it and did it myself.

You can get a reasonable but not great finish with rattle cans - lots of flatting back etc involved, but the biggest problem is that rattle can paint is not petrol proof - washes off the minute you get petrol on it. Not so good for a petrol tank then! I bought an FZ750 which looked great but the painter had used a lacquer which was not petrol proof... At least I could get it off with petrol! You can get petrol proof lacquer but really professional spray is best. If you get it painted gloss black or white with no decals any half decent car spray painter will make a nice job of it for not too much. I had my last tank, seat unit and side panels done for £150 a couple of years ago. Looked fine! Cheers and Happy Christmas, And.
