Talking My New Paint Job

I'm so Happy, Got the car back, It looks....Well you tell me. I like it. Not to mention its Wingless... And i am starting to love it. I shaved the antenna, hood nozzles, and had the wing holes welded shut. This is 2007 Porsche factory color Midnight black. Enjoy !!!

Hint..Can anyone notice the Blue in the paint on the close ups..?

I cant see any blue, but the paint looks pretty deep. Pretty nice!

You got bawls to put stickers on brand new paint. What happened to the 2gb talon spoiler? What are you lowered on? The back looks slammed! (and the rear camber angle looks pretty hefty as well)

Congrats on the new paint 5150. Good luck keeping it nice!

LOL... I have clear film over the front bumper, Fenders, Hood. Not to mention i am a car freak anyways.. I wash my **** like everyday. So hopefully it will be OK. The stickers are OK, The paint had been fully cured before i even got it back. As for what i am lowered on... Koni Yellows and Eibach Pro Kit springs. And Yes, I need a camber kit bad...hehe. I have not put on he Tsi wing yet either. As that will happen another day at the body shop soon. But Wingless is really growing on me as well. decisions...decisions...

PS- Thanks for your words on encouragement..
-About trying to keep it clean... j/k

I'm not an expert on car washing, but doesn't that ruin your paint faster?

So, you didnt even do the homebrew rear camber kit? Do it!

And, put the talon wing on. That'll make it look bangin!

The paint does look great though. The reflections on the doors are awesome. I'd really like to be able to see some of the blue!

You will soon find a new hatred for dust :P

LOL.. I didn't mean that literally. Just mean that plan on keeping it super clean. I talked to the body guy. he says.. to was it with a Mirco Cloth, wax at least 1 time every month, Under the shade. And keep it covered as much as possible. He also said to buy a Good Cover that can repel sun, etc. Picked one up today.. I keep it covered all night, And the whole time i am at work. So the only time its not covered is when i am driving it. He also said do not wash it with the dirt on it , Rinse the dirt off first, then wash it.
