Re: My projects

I just had them do their 2nd to best paint job, and had them match the black cherry already on it.

What did you do to your car before dropping it off though? Remove parts, prep any thing?


Kittay, you guys must love your DSMs

I drove the car there in it's wonderful multicolor condition. In their parking lot, I removed the headlight lenses, tail lights, marker lights, and the center grill piece between the head light lenses (they sprayed that separately). That's it. I didn't prep anything. I paid for their prep job.

In the end, with them also filling in some minor dents, it cost around $900 I believe. It's not stock quality, but don't take that the wrong way, because it looks great. There were some small little bubbles, and a couple little drips, in inconspicuous areas. The car looks much better. I'd recommend it to anyone not wanting to spend more on their cars paint job, then they did on the car itself.
