polished my slips - should i repaint car nbp?
Here is the car a week ago. Just got rid of the wingswest sideskirts and rear
made the mistake of using the zip strip instead of aircraft remover the first time.. took me like 5 coatings and it still wasn't done
During the stripping process using aircraft...
Heres what it looks like today.. this is just stripped slips... haven't polished them yet
oo yea if u noticed the hood is white.. just sold my faded carbon fiber hood over the weekend... gonna repaint the whole car and fix a few dings... thinking about painting it NHBP.. what do you guys think??

ok ... well then he probably doesnt need to ask about opinions does he?
My point being if you're going to spend 2k or whatever for a paint job, why not just make it custom? As in something you can not get from somewhere else? If you want say white, why not just go buy a white one instead of re-painting it and going through with all the hassle

what in the hell? it might be more of a hassle to sell your current one, find one that meets your expectations etc.

thanks for the comments guys. i'm going to polish and buff them sometime this weekend. hopefully it'll have a mirror finish on it
anyways, i just need this car to last me about 2 more years... so im not gonna spend 2k on a paint job.. and i know i will get flamed for this probably, but im gonna take it to MAACO
(im on a college student budget + Girlfriend budget here)
dont really care about non-oem colors.. i had championship white and this color for a while.. i might even decide on some shade of gray.. mustang's mineral gray? but black seems to complement polished wheels really well imo
