of getting a new coat.These pics are not the greatest but they are the best I could get for now.There are still some things to be done as in:touch ups,wheels done in black, put everything back together, and wet sand and buff.But here you go and I will post finished pics when I get it back.







Got the paint including jambs and all the body work done for less than $1600.I am very pleased.

 

Wow. The paint job looks excellent, but definitely do Not paint those wheels black please! It looks freaking sick as it is and doing that would only lessen it's appearance.

 

the car is coming along pretty wel and the color is a good onel but i noticed two things.....

1. the moldings where painted on the car
2. didnt tape up the front center grill

but hey, wat am i to say....its your car ....keep us updated and also....is the engine bay getting painted as well with that price??

 

 

damn the new paint looks good, what color is that?

 

The engine bay was done when the swap was done.I had a good friend do it and it was free.And yes the front grill was supposed to be left black but the guy for about taping it up.Oh well.The color is silverstone grey metallic.

 

nice clean hatchy

silverstone off the new vw's?

yeah, i agree with what was said above.
i woudl have taken off the moldings and mirrors.

 

I used the nh630m paint code off the s2k.Also, I do not know that much about painting so what would have been better by taking the mirrors and moldings off?

 

has it been colorsanded and buffed?

 

Looking good so far... color is sweet.

 

one word...wow, dont know if its already been asked didnt read too many other reply's but is that the is300 gm color?

 

it is better to take the mirrors and molding off becausae so that you can get paint behind then and in the area where the molding meet the metal body it will start cracking eventually and then you will have to take them off and repaint ,,,,,,, it will take awhile (years) but if you got enough paint on there it is gonna happen but i dought you will notice until it chips off because that color is very dark ..............but nice color btw
looks pimpin,,,,,,, and i agree with who said leave the rims like that it looks fat with the nice new paint that shines and the rims shine 2

 

is it me or is every other hatch on h-t.com that color now? hahahaha....looks good none the less.
