Default [PICS]Black Sapphire Metallic paintjob on the WS6 w/ a few custom touches

Well, I finally decided I was tired of the low quality stock paintjob and the few minor scratches that I've accumulated. So I went all out...

The car has been completely re-painted. I decided to stay black...but with a little twist. The color is by BMW and found as an upgrade on the 7 series cars. It is generally black, but depending on how the light hits it, you will see tones or grey or navy.

In addition to the paint,
-the Pontiac on the driver-side headlight cover was sanded down and smoothed.
-the Pontiac embossing above the rear bumper was filled.
-the power antenna has removed and the hole was filled.


I just got the car back and havent even had time to wash it. I will get some better pics later. Until then...







Note the blue-ish tones below

Man, that's EXACTLY what I had planned for mine whenever I get it repainted. I'm still gonna do it, it's very sweet

Congrats on the new color, it's awesome.

HOLY CRAP! That car is freakin beautiful man! I must have it now...
Nah, but honestly that seriously makes me reconsider getting my car painted. I would never think it would make that big of a difference, but it obviously does after seeing your car. Congrats bro, your T/A is sweet.
