Default T/A back home with new paint

I had the whole car painted. The hood was terrible. A few pics I took with my phone.

Looks good, but need before pictures. And don't pull the car all the way onto the curb.

Thanks I love it. I got a real good price $1150 at Main Paint and Body in Pearland. I am not a great picture taker. I will keep in mind about the curb next time. I don't think I have before pictures.

Do you know someone at the shop? I might be interested if I could get a deal for under 2K, but have a decent looking job done. Did they have to do any body work?

Just 2 door dings is all. I didn't know anyone there. I found out from a guy I used to work with. I also requested Dupont clear coat. Just go there and they will give you an estimate. Turnaround time was 2 weeks. They are busy. retardedpenguin on here works there.

Cool, thanks for the information. So you are happy though? No complaints?

I haven't waxed it yet and that is when I will noticed anything. Looks like they didn't put the right headlight cover back on straight but that is a minor detail. Paint job looks awesome. No complaints.

Unhappy

I waxed the car for you after they buffed it so your good to go. That car turned out amazing.

If anything wants anything painted at Main Street paint ask for Trey when you go in and I will hook y'all up.

Yeah, this is hard to tell from cell phone pictures, but I'd like to know as well.

When you're in direct sunlight, how does the paint look? For that price my WS6 could use some paint if the quality is up to par.
