color looks good and all but Im gonna hate on the prep work... I dont know why they didnt take the bumper covers off or the doors... all the moldings as well? I just got done a couple months ago painting my car, I did all the prep work except the bondo and fiberglass work that needed to be done... I literally took EVERYTHING off the car you could. DId they even primer, puddy, and block any of the car?

here's how I did it...

I imagine getting that color to match up would have been impossible if they would have panel painted it... I would have done a little more prep but as far as the doors and the bumpers, I would have left them on as well.

at first I thought that was going to be a dark maple red metallic color of sorts. Guess not. I'm not feeling the paint at all. Just doesn't look right on a trans am IMO. To each their own though!
