Default New Paint Job

Have had the car 6 yrs now. Went from the stock red to a 2 tone metalic black and Brandy Wine Red color.

He did the same paint scheme on the engine cover, batter cover, and brake fluid cover. I also did the fiberglass in the trunk for the subs and amps but haven't put them back in the car yet. will post pictures of them once they are back in. I am thinking of having the spokes on the Volks painted the same black as the top of the car

One of my best friends (and groomsmen for my wedding) did it as a wedding gift. I gave him money for the paint.

He took the doors, hood, trunk lid, weather stripping, etc off the car. It was sanded down all the way.

If I were to go to a paint and body place I would have paid over $5K to get what I got done to the car.

OMG that was your car at the meet? I had no idea it was red before. Did you do everything under the hood too? I figured it was a brickyard that had the greenhouse and hood blacked out.....my mistake.

Yup, was me. He did a good job painting. Only part that didnt get sprayed was inside the engine compartment. Would have required MUCH more work
