Fresh paint job. Black Pearl

Post by zreon »

Hey everyone! I had my car painted this weekend. It started out as a faded blue roll on job and now is a shiny black pearl :) Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. I will get some good ones once I wet sand it and finish it off.

Also, the door jambs will be painted on Wednesday along with another coat.

looks nice! :) How much did you pay? Did you only paint the exterior and not the sides of the doors? or is it my eyes playing tricks on me. This is the color I want to paint my car. The only problem I foresee in doing so would be my insurance premium increasing and the Fresno, CA heat increasing inside the cabin.

The door jambs are being painted this week sometime.

Also, I made a website for the guy so he painted my car for free :)
