Hey pedro, why not get it wet sanded and use the rest of the money on something else, unless you got a hook up on paint?

Well, I need two new fenders, and I need to paint the skirts and lip

But yeah, I got an extreme hookup. That Hispanic hookup

My dad knows some guy and he came over to my house to look at my car.

They guy said, that they will strip it down, and make it look like it came out of the factory, garrenteed. Complete body work, and comeplete paint.

$700.

He is some custom painter.
And my dad went over to his hop, they got done with a car, and the guy looked at it, and said. "I see a slight wave, strip it back down and redo it"
My dad said they car looked amazing and couldnt believe he said to redo it.


Well, that and my hood looks like it was used to trim a hedge of bushes

I'll have some rollin shots up soon

Glad you got the swap done. However, I think you should take the hubcaps off the back or either put some on the front. It looks pretty ghetto the way it is now.

Thanks guys,

Yeah I took some ShowGlaze and then some High gloss wax to it, and it looks 10x better.

No longer the darkish faded white it is now, and the reflection is the same as the
windows Wish I would have used paint cleaner before tho


Oh well. Yeah I know I have the hubcaps but I have wheel locks on the front and
the caps wont work, But I'm not worried about it,

becuase it needs alot more than hubcaps on the front


I'll see if I can get pics of the reflection up soon.

Well Here are a few pics, again crappy digi cam so sorry about the pics,
Its also getting dark so gloss isnt too glossy

But I'm very happy for 16 Y/O paint






.
.
.
.
Now this is NICE... Even more for it being White. Look at that reflection!



And for the ones wonderin, Before and after shot of the bay






Well I need to stop posting pics and talkin cuz it isnt anything to brag about,

But I do think that reflection is awsome, becuase its kinda hard to get white.
I was very very surprised what the step paint kit did.

ok I'm done.
