Pics of my freshly re-painted CYM

I had my entire car repainted, with extra pearl in it this time. The pearl in it is gorgeous. It's absolutely brilliant in the sunlight. Well, here's the album with all the pics.

yeah, i just took it to the Lake Poinsette State Park in my hometown (Harrisburg, AR) and snapped a roll of film real quick, just to get some pics up of the new paint.

Thanks for all of the compliments! I had the best bodyman and paint man in town do all of the work on my car. I wouldn't trust it with anyone else. He paints lots of show cars from around the area, and is currently working on an old Chevy right now with about 1000RWHP he's not a publicized body/paint man, just word of mouth.

On this job, it was re-painted CYM (it was originally CYM) and he used 3 coats of pearl, instead of 2. It looks great. I wish he would have put more pearl in it, maybe 4 or 5 coats.... either way, i'm happy with the turnout. I've gotten so many compliments from people lately on it!
