Re: Finally getting my baby painted!

Well stopped by the paintshop today and my car is almost done!! All that is needed is to have the car buffed....take a look at the pics.

My only qualm is that they didn't color match the nozzles, I will be bringing that up on monday and having it done.

PS..This was previously a black over claret. I cannot be happier, pic's don't give it justice, it seriously looked like a brand new car!

Thanks guys! More pics will follow.

Also, for those who have had their cars painted, is it customary to tip the guy?

Looks awsome. I wouldn't tip them because they are getting paid already to do it but if you feel the need to tip him just buy him a case of beer.

Re: Finally getting my baby painted!

how much did it run you? I too am curious about your estimate. I'm going to be having my redone at some point in the near future.
