Takumi

Someone posted this link for me a while back (props to who did) :)

Maybe it will help you out. I emailed them with a question over a month ago and didn't hear back from them. I hope that isn't an indication of their customer service. :rolleyes:

Are you a Paint Takumi? For anyone still unfamiliar with the term, Lexus Takumi are the automotive equivalent of a 10th Dan black belt.

The story of Lexus? elite Takumi masters has rarely been told. That?s about to change, starting with Kimihiro Sakakibara?the ?black belt? of vehicle paint.
By Brian Gill and Tony Middlehurst

Inside Lexus is a small group of ?masters??a sort of dream team of engineers who command hundreds of people, along with serious respect. They have a lot to do with the innate superiority of your Lexus vehicle, but their stories have rarely been told. That?s about to change with a new Lexus magazine series: The Takumi Files?a periodic inside look at these elite craftsmen, each responsible for a different area of your vehicle?s quality. First up: Kimihiro Sakakibara, the master of exterior paint.
