Before you ask, no, it does not come like this. The previous owner had the entire car repainted because he didn't like the two tone (and neither do I). What do you guys think of the monotone look?



How I picked the car up, need to touch up that scratch on the bumper











After washing, claying, IPA wipedown, paste waxing, and spray waxing. Clear corners really make a difference in the appearance of the car.

Not feeling it, looks way to much like the all to common older, white Camrys you see everywhere. I used to not like the two tone but i do now, took me a while to get into it

Looks more like a Camry

makes me think of a older 1999, early 2000s Solara. I think I'll stick to the two tone :P

I can go either way on the monotone but the pin stripe.....

Yea take it off. Looks outdated

Hey, that's a valuable dealer added accessory.

It looks like a poverty-spec Toyota from the 90's. not a fan.

Plenty of single colored ES's on here. I would not have gone with industrial construction van white though that's for sure, but you are in florida.

Pin stripes are outdated, but so are two-toned paint jobs. I never liked them. They are meant for big country ranch trucks only in my opinion.


I would have it painted a charcoal grey and add some VIP style, with chrome trim accents, new wheels, and tint. Would look completely different.

Some colors look great monotone, silver, black, but unfortunately white, especially on this car, is not one of them.

I plan to but because my car's white it has a whiter than the rest of the paint shadow in it's place.

JDMSteven

I got the car as is so I had no say in the paint job. However I'll get the stripe off soon, not feeling it myself.

I saw a white one just like this while sitting inside a panda express, it was a 97-99 like yours could tell from the fog lights, amber tail lights and rims. only minor difference was it was the lower half was the same original pearl white as the top.

I think people on here are used to looking at two tone ES300s, I personally don't care for two tone paint jobs but, somehow it looks OK on the ES300 or I've just gotten used to it.

That's what I was gonna say lol. Yeah it looks very cheap all monotone and besides its pretty cheap Maaco paint job you got there. They oversprayed inside wheel wells, that's what I can see form pictures. I bet there's more shoddy craftsmanship there.

JDMSteven

Unfortunately yes the paint job that the last owner had done is rough. The clearcoat isn't level and there is overspray but it was out of my control. My job now is undoing the neglect
