Car should be done paint by the end of the week! (teaser)

Now im wondering if I should put the lip back on? Maybe ill put it on with no double sided tape so I can remove it when I feel like it.

:tongue3:

That's a shiny mofo, how much did the paint job run you?

Just getting the front bumper, hood, sideskirts, import mirrors, and s281 wing done ~ $800 give or take. Might get fenders done as well not sure. His prices are roughly about $200 per panel. Haven't used him before so I hope I found my new paint guy.

Front bumper = cracked from hitting a parking curb
Hood = rock chip
Side skirts = getting 96+ style and having them repainted due to wear
S281 wing & import mirrors painted

That's laser red i'm assuming? Looks good...

i just sprayed mine last summer. I did it myself and it ran me about 1200 in just supplies. Laser red paint is not cheap at all. haha

 

[Matt94GT]

apparently the wing fit up fairly well, cant wait to see it!

im working on painting my car my self and i bet i have about 300 in supplies. just bought the clear yesterday that was 398 for a gallon including hardener. paint isnt cheap

Very cool Matt, didn't know you were repainting her! Always nice to see her when she's done!

That should look great!

Looks amazing Matt :headbang:

I'm getting my hood/bumper/mirrors painted in the next 3-4 weeks as well.

Looks great, dont put the lip back on and dont paint the fenders if you do you might aswell paint the sides to match. lol

 

[Matt94GT]

Lip is already back on, and we got by with wet sanding the fenders. hope to pick it up tonight!

 

[Dalamar]

sweet man, that's going to be sick!


how long will it take the clear to dry, before you can buff/wax that shiny dick?

 

[Matt94GT]

not sure yet, picking it up tonight I hope ill find out!

 

[infamous209]

Heard its roughly a month before you can but dont take my word for it

 

[BMAC96GT]

I know that you can buff a car a day or two after paint but you're supposed to wait 3 to 6 months to let the clear to harden enough to wax it

 

[ttocs]

I had my passenger side reshot last year and my painter said if I could it was best to wait 3 months before waxing and sealing so I did.
