Slightly better me thinks!

Paintjob was $300.00. yes it's cheap, yes it has a lil bit of orange peel, but it looks 50 jazillion times better than it did and for $300.00, I think they did a damn good job! So keep that in mind before you rip apart my paint job. Also keep in mind I screwed up on the sanding and body work.. I did the best I could with what I have to work with (not much).

Phat boyz Auto in Perry Fl did it. I'm pleased with the work and I'd recommend em to anybody who's car looked the way mine did!

Sure isn't any shine at all to the paint - but for $300 can't beat it, I guess.

No, it's a spray job - look at all the overspray on the tail lights, front end, wheel wells etc

wow that looks like crap.

sorry. im sure it was a cheap paint job, but jesus. it looks like a nice home grown velencia thats still sitting on the tree waiting for the harvest. i guess if your happy with it, than congratulations. but that looks like a roll on job, actually ive seen roll on jobs that look better then that. Sorry to be so blunt, but it needs some help.

Granted it was 300 bucks,so i guess theres only so much you can ask for. thats definitely a 20 ft paint job.

It doesn't look bad in the pics. I think you should use alittle rubberizing inside the fenders..then spray some black on your radiator that way you can have some contrast.

I installed the front fender liners and I plan on spraying the rear fenderwells black as well. Also, I"m going to mask off about a 1/4" around the inside "mouth" of my bumper and spray it black, so I have a nice lil lip and it will blend in with the stuff behind the bumper when I paint in black as well.

Actually, no, it's not. Granted, I've seen better but it's not bad at all.

Here's some more pics.. I had a smudge on my lens.. Thus the lil blurry spot on ALL THE PICTURES!!! GAH!






Yay! Tilty-world pics! I never do these





I wanted my car just this white Minus the smudge


I got brave and backed down by the water


Dragon fly in teh corner was talkin smack. I introduced him to t3h V-Tak beat down








And a never before done shot! (By me anyway)






I had the dang macro turned on when I took these pics, so that coupled w/the smudge didn't do it justice. I still have to buff it and wax it, so it'll look better yet

you mean you need to wetsand, then a really good buff job and not wax it!!! dont throw wax on a fresh paint job !!!

also im sure once you get the overspray taken care of and the little details cleaned up and the whole car cut/buffed im sure it will look alot better

have to love white because it hides flaws so well
