you cant just lay a price for painting down. IF you curious PM me, this thread wasnt intended for advertisement.
As for ridiculing the car itself, why? Im talking about the paint and that is it.

did i say something wrong? lol. I was simply saying, Im not in the member offered services so I would prefer not get bitched at. I wont beg for work, I have plenty of it. And if you are going to base you choice over something I said, then it will probably be best that way anyways.

Yeah, I didn't see the light metallic in my paint when I did it until I got it out in the sun. I thought they gave me the wrong paint at first.
Painting is a lot of work. I'm real anal about details so it took me about 25 hours of light ding repair, prep, sanding and painting to get it all done. Another hour to buff it out after I had color sanded it. This is painting the stock blue color on my car and not doing any jambs or underhood work. Two coats of base coat and three coats of clear. I wouldn't want to do it for others, I'd lose my ass.

Hey I can complain about any car I want!
The paint looks good, but digital photography is very forgiving :)
I wasnt saying you photoshopped it, haha that's just sad if someone does that

yea, the blitz wheels..nice. I was jsut past there today..they where all cookin out on the grill, and all the cars where out. The 240 must now be all yellowish/cream colored (primer coat) cause it was out too..I heard it drive by a bit before, so yea. The supra i hear is in the booth now, gettin some color to it..no more rear bumper that's off white. If any of you where there, I was in a customer's black vue...
