Well, I said it, I hate paintwork haha! Seriously though, anything involving bodywork is always a challenge for me. Next time I'll definitely get a professional to do any bodywork so that I can get the best result.
I'm not entirely happy with how it turned out if I'm honest.
In the future, I'll take it to get done properly.

Hey bro. I still thought that you did a pretty awesome job on this. Keep it up. I always wait for new content that you put out. Looking to do some touches on my 2003 Toyota Altezza very soon. Your step by step detail is flawless. Thanks again
Thanks for watching :) I really appreciate it! My best advice is the take your time. I rush things in places and wish I hadn’t. But oh well, lesson learned I suppose! More videos coming soon! 😋✌🏻
That is actually really impressive honestly
You should see it now LOL
Great content, much appreciated. I'm looking to get an IS300 soon and your mods go for a tasteful OEM+ style that serve as nice inspiration. Excited to see more IS300 content with your level of detail. A clear Scotchgard bra / protective vinyl film might be a good idea for protecting the lip and bumper.
Thank you very much! I try my best to bring the very best content. There’s so much more to come! I think I will get another lip and ask a professional to do it at some point in the future :) The mods to come won’t be as OEM haha! Lots of power to unlock later on! 😁 thanks for watching!
I have this lip on my is300 and love it and yours looks awesome in the green. This lip really transforms the look of the car
Absolutely, I agree! It makes the IS300 look A LOT more sporty, which is great. Thanks for watching! :)
Looking into putting some work into my IS300 after settling for the past 4 years. Im looking forward to watching this build progress!
Do it!! 😋 thanks for watching!
The joys of DIY paint,still a great video keep up the good work
I know right?! 😅 Thanks for watching, much appreciated!
The fact u cant even see where u hit the lip after fixing it…. Well done 😅
@@Faded_Muffinz 😅🤷🏻♂️
Still a cracking job I love this and the tte front lip, always looking forward to the next mod
Thanks for watching! More coming soon! 😛👍🏻
Waw this guy just glowed upp
Came out great dude. I need to do this for my IS200. Awesome video as always
Thanks mate! I would recommend getting someone to spray it because for me I don’t think it was worth the hassle! 😂 However, if you wanna DIY then I wish you the best of luck! 😁👍🏻 Thanks for watching!
Great job dude. Always a bit of a pig with aftermarket products, but I think you smashed it on this one! 👏🏼👏🏼
I appreciate that, mate! Thanks a lot! 😋
Well lad!
If your looking for any bodykits I’d recommend MCG Autostyling in Ireland they have all bumpers, sideskirts bumper lips etc they are fibreglass but the fitment is very very good and fairly priced aswell if your interested!
Thanks for the tip, mate! 😁✌🏻
New subscriber here love the content man really entertaining and also I am looking for one of these cars as well so it's a learning experience for sure keep up the good work and much from all the way on the other side of the world 🇩🇴👍
Did you find one? :)
Lip came out amazing 😻
Thanks! 😁👍🏻
Great job mate. I feel like the clear coat should of protected the chips at least a little. It going to happen I guess but didnt think just after a few drives. I was quoted a grand to do lip, rear and skirts. I'm still on the fence and not to sure if I want to give it a crack or not.
Im tempted to play with halftone with my IS with plastidip. just to have a bit of fun before going clean with it.
Yeah I don’t think the clear coat was amazing quality really. I should’ve used a 2k clear coat. Or added PPF. I haven’t used plastidip before, let me know how it goes! :)
@@shizukesajdmyou either love it or hate it. It works well but if you are low, it can rip it up and looks a bit messy. For the price, it's a bit of fun. Plus if you don't like it, you can just peal it off hahaha.
Other note, loving the vids on the car. Im tempted to get a IS300. People want 15K - 20k+ for them here in Australia. Might just drive my IS200 to the ground and then do a 1JZ swap or something.
Dry sand up to 320 before primer. Apply primer, wait up to 24Hrs. Wet sand with 400 to 600 before paint, paint and wait up to 24Hrs. Wet sand with 800 up to 1500 before clear, dry and clean then spray clear light then heavy. End result with sanding in between steps and especially after base coat should result in a mirror finish. Also spray at least 3 coats with 1st light coat, 2 wet coats, but I'd say the more the better as the top two are sacrificial layers for sanding. That's just from my experience. Enjoy
Dude.... do you know how rare that green color is for that car? Great find!! And good luck on the build!!
People keep telling me! :) But I'm not sure it's as rare as people say, idk.
Why didn't you change the front and rear lights from the IS200 to the 300? The others were dark and these are chrome...
These are HIDs, the IS200 has normal bulbs :)
Where are the videos my man? We're starving, please feed us!!
I’ve hit a problem 😂 I’ve finished filming the exhaust video and it’s almost edited. However, I’ve also filmed the maintenance video which is 430+GB of footage. The car won’t start 😂 I’m trying to figure out why.
Nice job👍
A bit off topic but I'm thinking about getting an is300, could you do a link showing how to use the automatic gearbox? I'm used to a modern s tronic gearbox but not too sure on the older types.
Thanks Danny
❤️🚗💨
More videos??
Soon! 😋
@@shizukesajdm I'm waiting🔥🔥
I’m wanting to get the japspeed cat back exhaust and i was just wondering if you ever used the baffle? I just wanna know how quiet it was with it in
Yep, it was MUCH quieter.
@@shizukesajdm would you say much louder than stock still?
@@mrsidewayss4825 Not much louder, but definitely noticeable.
@@shizukesajdm ok cheers, just don’t want the neighbours to hate me at 7 in the morning XD
@@mrsidewayss4825 The neighbours hated me at 6:15 in the morning until I used the silencer haha! You'll be fine.
Get the trd rear lip and trd skirts for her of me I do good prices 😄

Looks like you used the wrong paint. Plastic bends and twists. Normal car paint doesn't. You should only use paint designed to be used on plastic. As for your bumper. Look on Lexus parts direct because for about 250 quid you'll get a brand new one And colour matched to your car.
Yeah a new bumper might be the best way to go! :) thanks for watching!
Also… it’s fibre glass, not plastic 🤷🏻♂️
I’m a professional painter and I reckon you did a great job for a first attempt, no runs and looked even 👏🏼 I also have this lip and many parts to fit to my is300. Keep the videos coming. You can keep track of mine on Instagram… Bakerpaintworks
Hi Dean! I appreciate that, but you should see it now... hahaha!
