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.

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!

wow that sucks, theres actually some chipping. but they said they'll redo the messed up parts. i plan on taking it back after sevenstock, i figure that theres gonna be rock chips and whatnot on the way there so i might as well have em do everything at once. btw i feel like an idiot for asking this, but whats pro rated mean?

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.

thanks, it was supposed to be 1k plus tax but the guy "cut me a deal" haha. i guess they dont got too much business right now. and this was a pretty low end paintjob actually. im glad everyone likes it though, my car was like 4 different colors after i got into the fender bender.
