$373 ????????????
Who did that for such little money ?
Looks like a pretty good job.
I really like the monochrome look.
 
WOW! Much nicer look. I dig the monochromatic look of the garnet red. Very nicely done.

The cardomain pics wont "enlarge"...I wanted to see a close-up of the LMS trunk lock cover.

You reallt did yourself proud with that one...tell us again...why so cheap?(paint)
I'd love to do it to my Black 94, but man...sure are alot of them out there, and I'd be giving up the "uniqueness".

How many coats of paint did they put on your car, it looks good.

I have no idea, never asked, but it was their deluxe paint job and It cost extra because I had the grille and stuff painted and had a door dent taken out, so it would probably be in the $250 range for just a regular deluxe paint job.

what's your email address, I'll zoom in on one of the back shots and save the pic and send it to you to see the trunk cover
 
Do you have any real close pics of the paint? Did you inspect it?

Was there any orange peal, fish eyes, dust, and runs? If not, very nice looking car! I paid $1000.00 and had it done twice and it still din't come out as good as that looks.

Just make sure not to touch it for at least a month to let the clear harden, you can wash with soap and water but that's it.

I would ask them how many clear coats where put on there, and then find some one with an optical depth gauge to check the thickness of the clear coat so you know how much you can wet sand.

I suggest using maguier's rubbing compound ZAINO bro's polish after wet sanding. Just wait a month before you have it done.
 
Looks great man! Good find on the paint shop, did you ever see any of their work previously?
 
I just spent ....*goes to get the reciept*.....956.79. That was just on Base, Clear, and the required additives. (reducer, hardener, flex-additive)


You got a good job from what I can tell through the pictures, and you should be very happy with it. I'm getting ready to start re-painting the 95 to Bright Amber Metallic. The car is being reduced to Weekend/Show status from now on, and the paint will show it. I've stripped it down completely to fix ALL of the flaws in the body.


The passenger-side door is being replaced, and both front fenders are as well. I'm doing the bodywork myself, and paying a local shop here in my area to use their new paint booth. By the time i'm done I'll have gone through a few packs of 2000 grit wet/dry paper, and a couple gallons of 3M auto polish.


Was your final top coat wet sanded? If not..... ask how many coats they put on it. If 4 or more...I would take it and have EVERYTHING wet sanded and then polished. You'll be AMAZED at the difference.


You repainted to garnet red.......i'm getting away from it. (Looks too pink to me.) :)

EDIT.......Do you know what brand of Paint they used? I'm thinking they used something like Omni AU. It's a good brand for the price.
 
what's the name of the paint shop.
Has anyone heard of a seller paint`job?
My buddy got one once about same price .... problem it looks good for about 2 years.
LOOKs nice with less chrome! great job.
 
Nice. You're going to have one heck of a car when you're done.

WOW looks great. You did great on the tunk key cover install too!

thanks. The trunk key cover was a lot easier because my plastic piece was already off the car, so we just wrapped it and glued it back in and then added the chrome piece.
