It's about friction' time! Lol. Is that a matte black, or just crappy photos?
BTW, your wheels are on backwards...
...and you're missing a fuel door.

I know all this. Wheels=not my fault. Fuel door needs buffing.

Not matte black. Just night shots. It's a lexus color. Granite Pearl or something. In English it's Grey metallic with some pearl in it.

It looks nice from what I can tell with these photos. You better post some good ones tomorrow when it's light outside.

I always thought a nice charcoal grey would look good on these cars. Better pictures please! Who did it? How much?

Did it myself. Actual cost around 1500$ though that includes paint, bondo, plastic, tape, paint gun, pnumatic blocker, hoses for compressor, connectors, sandpaper, and a lot of other stuff I can't remember. The paint was 500$ including the clearcoat. Then the primer ( both epoxy and 2k ) was 160$. Pads are about 25$ for a box of 50 ( for the da ). Wet/ dry sandpaper is much more expensive. Bondo is like 15$ for a pint. Putty is about the same.

In all I could do it again for half the price in supplies. ( or less )

I remember the first thread where I mentioned blocking, and you didn't even know what it was... you have come a long long way.
