The body shop did a great job on it....

I was going to go with the factory tornado grey but i liked this color better...

It's got this metal flake in it that is all shiny in the sunlight and at night it looks almost black.

I love it...

It was a Maaco special....cost 1200 with door jambs and hatch area.

It realistically would have cost more if I had taken it to another shop...Plus I got a 2 year warranty against chipping, cracking and flaking...

How's the paint job in general? Much run ons and overspray? Did they do the prep work and body work like filling the dents?

Nah, I didn't do any dent filling or anything. The paint job itself is pretty ******* good. It's not super bad *** but still...worth the flow in my opinion.

There are a couple of little blemishes but nothing that I can gripe over....

well, unfortunately in order to clearcoat a car, you need paint for the clear to bond to.

Clearcoat isn't going to bond to old paint.
