Paint's all finished. Steve @ Superior did everything perfect, he even smoked the reverse and rear side lights, because the stock red was way too red against the titanium - it really tied it all together.

They'll have her fully detailed and windows tinted by week's end. Pics will follow shortly thereafter.

Re: Painting my FD.. thinking about a black metallic

I have seen the car in person and the pictures don't do the paint job any justice at all. It looks alot better in person... its got alot of spakles in it

Someone posted some pics of an FD with a charcoal grey metallic job with a blue hue and I thought that looked pretty tight, has anyone seen the car in person? Does it look as good as the pics? Here's the link...

I'm actually thinking of going a little darker than this.. so anyone with any pics with jobs in a darker grey or black metallic, please post.
