What color is that?

Looks good, 'cept in that last pic when the sun hits it, makes it look kinda orange

I'm sure it looks better in person though

Not to be mean but you didn't wax your car right after they painted it right?

well, generally speaking you cant wax on a new paint job right(with except of oem quality bake job), it takes time to cures

anyways, 500 bucks well spent
