|

|
ah, so that's how my FC's gonna look with the lip and skirts. nice outcome breh.
|
nice
|
:icon_tup::icon_tup:
|
Thanks, the color i got at earl schieb was called Smoked Gray Metallic. i really wanted to get Shadow Silver Metallic from the JDM FCs but this was the closest they had. all in all i think they did a pretty good job.
|
o yea the lip is carbon fiber, and i asked them to paint over that too. too bad they wouldnt paint the mirrors, somthing about it being plastic or somthing.
|
how much did that run you if you dont mind me asking?
|
Did they do the dorr jams and everything or just the body

Most FC mirrors were painted from the factory. Are the painters retarded?

Thats not that bad of a price, looks good. Now lets see how long the paint holds up ; )
|
well, it comes with a 3 year warantee, so i guess when 3 years is up, im just gonna make every part of the paint or chip. that way i get a new paint job hahahaha

Your car does look nice from the pics so I hope perhaps they did better on yours than mine in the past. |

Unfortunately the 3 year warranty is pro-rated. I had a Scheib job on an FB several years ago and swore I'd never do that again. They got overspray on rubber door seals, my license tag, muffler, etc. I painted my FB myself two years ago and plan to do my FC this fall. Love those roll-on garage jobs!

If you take decent care of the paint job, it should last okay, assuming they did a decent job prepping the car for paint. The quality of a paint job is tied up in the prep work. |

the total for everyone was exacltly 1000 after taxes, but that was including body work. they had to do like 3-4 big dents on the car
