Greetings from Norway, my Tahoe got a total makeover!

[Simen Hagen]

Greetings, Norwegian car painter here. Today i finally finished putting my Tahoe back together after 4 months of hard work. Car was rust free and got a new frame 2 years ago. It got sanded down to bare metal and painted inside and all over. Everything is done by me and my father, and this was a fun bonding project.

Paint is a 3 stage Candy red from Standox. Car got painted pink first then 3 layers of candy on top, very similair to the newer Mazda color.
2/4 Belltech kit with 22x10" rims with 285/40 tires and 20mm spacers all around.

Some pictures from when i bought it in August aswell

Aloha & Welcome to the TYForum from O'ahu, Hawaii! You posted some great pics so I know you're going to fit right in here. The Candy paint job is really something. I painted my first car, a 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 Station Wagon Candy Apple Red with a light spraying of crystal metal flake. It was my pride and joy! Your ride reminds me a lot of that fond memory. Hope to hear from you in the future. Aloha!

I have always loved Candy red, it's stunning to look at in the sun. Candy paint was a fun and challenging job to do. I grew up in my dads paintshop and painted my first car when i was 12, i'm 25 now but this is my first Candy job since it isn't that common up here.

Im thinking of starting a thread with pictures from the whole process, so i will sure try to keep posting!

Thank you! Yea it's much easier to find parts and accessories in the states vs here, so i have bought everything from USA. Parts are also much cheaper, only downside are taxes and shipping to Norway are hilariously high
