That's a great color. I hope the painter knows what he's doing. Be REALLY picky and go over every inch of the car and do not accept any flaws like orange peel, runs, drips, sanding marks, etc. Make sure they colorsand, buff, polish and the finish looks like glass......did I mention be REALLY picky

Hey, I see your in Wellington.. I'm right up the road in Royal Palm (acreage). We should meet up sometime.

Can you PM me the name of the body shop? If it works out well for you I might have them repaint my truck.

Awesome
Did they remove the panels for paint or did they paint with panels on the car?
