Default Painted Custom SS

Just got back from Speedway Paint and Body. They were buffing the clearcoat on the bumpers and grille, rear valence was still being worked on. But they let me snap a few shots real quick. The SS's and Bowtie where hand done with Cherry Pearl and came out great. Let me know what you think. Dust is still all over them from buffing but still shine great.

Thank You
They are doing a killer job on the black. You can see the doors to the shop in the "rear other side" pic that are 20 ft away. Best part is the guy working on these parts said the hood and rest of the car came out even better.

For the complete Remove & Install of Doors, hood, fin, trunk, fenders, lights, markers and grill, plus Paint and Clear Coats between 8-10k. But I also asked for a show winning paint job. Not sure of the final numbers since the custom logos were not added in when I got the quote.

Talking

I live out next to Lowes Motor Speedway ( literally ). I have not seen your Hugger Orange SS out in the Univ Area, or missed it when going through every day. Speedway Paint and Body (right down from LMS) is doing the work, wont be done for another week. I am giong to be stopping in there again tomorrow after work or Saturday to get some more pics. They said they were putting the parts backon for the buffing guy. It's a bummer since I am out of town all next week and can't pick it up until I am back
