OK, here's what you've all been waiting for! I paid $340 for the paint job. (That was the cost of the paint and other materials.) Labor was free since I had it done at the local high school autobody class!!! Special thanks to all at Brashear High School in Pittsburgh.

How much of the car was disassembled before painting? Windows, lower panels, rubber, wing?

AS far as paint chips on the hood, have you checked out that clear film by 3M, its suppose to be a good product.

Mike,
Was your front wheel cap missing before the high school did the paint job

Where did you get the chin spoiler on the front? Is it fiberglass or urethane?

When i have the money for paint i should visit the ACT place and see if thier advanced class needs a car to paint, couldnt get much worse....

Hey Don, bring your car over one day ill make it look better than mine could ever look, and if you really want to see if ACT will work i will find out for you. But i am always willing to mess with a car, i know i could make it look better, or so i think hehe.

Mike, your car looks great! I was going to make a comment about the large blemish in the hood (in the other thread) but I figured you're too nice a guy for me to torment...

Ive started putting the car back together this weekend. It is really looking like a brand new car. I am so happy with how it came out, and I never expected it to look so nice especially at the price I paid!!
