Garage Grit: One Customer’s DIY Journey with Alpha Automotive Paint
There’s nothing like the satisfaction of stepping back and seeing your ride in fresh paint—especially when you did it all yourself, in your own garage.
That’s exactly what @sevenevez pulled off with this solo respray project, using the OEMatch Toyota 221 Blackish Ageha P.M. Full Vehicle Paint Kit by Alpha Automotive Paint, available at The Spray Source.
The kit included everything he needed to make it happen:
- Sealer
- Reducer
- Basecoat (Toyota Blackish Ageha P. M. 221 | OEMatch Vehicle Paint Kit)
- Clear Coat (AC-4521 HS Glamour Clear)
No paint booth. No crew. Just one guy, a garage, and a whole lot of commitment.
And after all that effort, here’s what he had to say about it:
“It’s perfect from afar but far from perfect... I still have some hazy spots on the roof and the trunk..”
If you’ve ever taken on a paint job yourself, you know exactly what he means. It’s not about chasing perfection—it’s about learning as you go, making progress, and earning that final result.
