^Looks nice. Did they shoot under your hood and in the door jambs? How much did it total? I just want to know so I can torture myself. I really wanted to do this but couldn't in the end
Need to finish the rest of my build.

Adrian needed extra prep time to work on the hood.

Just an update and a heads up for some of you guys. I havent had time to take some good pictures of the car yet. To be perfectly honest it wasn't what I was expecting. Adrian's a really cool guy and he worked with me a lot, but his guys didn't do the best on my car. I'm super picky and I found a bunch of stuff wrong with it. He corrected a few, but I was still not happy about some things. Most important is the color sanding and buffing, it looks like they didn't finish it in some areas. It's cool though that is something that can be fixed after the paint cures by a really good detailer I guess. The guy that was fixing some stuff before I left told me that the guy that painted my car got fired, left, or something, either way I wasn't too excited to hear that. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give Adrian a 10 and his employees work a 6. The car does look 100000000x's better than before, but it just wasn't what I expected. I could make a list of the things that were wrong, but I don't feel like making a big *** list. Granted some were fixed, but I still didn't expect that many. As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.

I was hoping that this would be the case. How long do you guys think I should wait before having it color sanded and buffed? Does anyone know a really good detailer in Ca that will be able to properly finish my car? The paint does look good it just needs to be finished to really make it look like how I want it.
