Paint job question???

[lx5091]

First off the car is dirty, but here is a closeup pic of my car. It was painted over 3 years ago (long before I bought it). Before the paintjob the body was original and immaculate, not a scratch, just old faded factory piant. He paid $1800 for the work you see. It was water sanded between coats to help reduce "orange peel" . It looks good in this picture, but it looks like a BILLION dollars after a wash and wax job! The car truly and honestly in stock trim TURNS HEADS. It is SOLELY due to the paintjob. I think if he was guaranteed it would look as good as it does after the years it's lived, my friend DEFINATELY would have paid twice what he did. And I think it would have been worth it.

Don't skimp on a paintjob, it makes a difference. For the people that say, don't waste so much on paint, instead buy go fast parts, I say skimp on ricey ground effects if you want (don't bother buying them), but don't skimp on piantwork.

Just my opinion

btw, the picture in my avatar looks like crap, because it was taken with my 1mp Kodak camera. I took this picture with my Father-in-law's 3.2mp Olympus, big difference!
