finally after a year i finally got to do something to my car. i went from a white hatch to silver. the paint job only cost me $280 with a little body damage that got fixed, $175 for paint and $75 for body damage. i went to a place called Econo almost like Macco. i got the supreme which is 3 warranty against none flexible body parts. im happy with the end result. the only thing is that i cant wet sand it becuz it has an intergraded clear coat, which is 75% clear and 25% of the silver, and if i try to ws it will **** up the paint. ive had the paint for like 3wks and just got pics, Thanx Cracker,. i get to wax it next wk. hopefully i can get it to shine alittle better. i also got some fake spoon mirrors and some fake ambers. also some 2k setas with Si headrest from Greebler. next is to get my swap. LS here i come here are the pics, ENJOY

Really glad for you...but it looks a little uneven around the lower window seal. Actually it looks like its missing paint where they pulled the tape. If so I would toss some clear nail polish on it to keep it from chipping.

Which Silver is that?

 

Looks good from what I can see.

Totally see your point. Heck Ive seen paint jobs that cost 1500.00 that looked worse. .

Reason I was asking about the silver was Im about to paint my hatch as well. Thinking about the 2002 Mustang silver...or is it grey?

Just remember to put something on that spot or when your drying it you may catch it with a towel and pull some paint off.

 

those look like jdmh22hatch's old wheels well good luck with the rest of it.

 

damn. im lovin the over spray on the door/window wheel well stripping. u get what u pay for though. hopefully itll last u more then a few months.
