Default New paint, first car show... what happened? (New Paint revealed)

Well, unfortunately I missed EOS this year car wasnt ready from paint shop. Well the following morning after bringing her home I got a car about a local car show. So I rushed to get her ready and made it. Low and behold, took first place in VIP/Luxury class First show for me, and had a great time Also ran into a fellow CL member in his upcoming VIP status SC, SWEET stance hes got too! Here are a few shots from the show, I'll do a photo shoot soon to get some great pics of the paint. Paint color is Obsidian with House of Kolors violet pearl.

My favorite part is how the car still looks black then the purple is reviled!

Thumbs up Looking good!!!

Paint is looking good man. Where did you go to get it done? How is the orange peel, as good or better than the stock paint? What are you going to do about your hi-beams? I know you were trying to do the beemer bi-xenon, but they were too big.

went to a local place. As for the orange peel, yea about as good as stock. I didnt expect any better; I'm planning on having someone else to the cut and polish. The high beam projectors, well I had got the car the night before and THINKING that I was gonna make EOS, I said screw it, I'll deal with it later. I didnt want to rush the retro, but the plans are still there for the high beam cause quad projectors are sick!

Thanks. As for cost, all depends on where you go and how they paint. If you go to a place that masks the whole car up hell you can probably get away with $1500 for the job. But if you go to a real shop who will removed every body panel prep and paint each one separately, it can go up to $6000+ Its all how you want it done. The more you pay, the better outcome you get.

Yea, Pics are a MUST. Just need to find a camera. Mine is decent, I just need good lighting and such. I'll see about getting some when I get out of work tomorrow morning.
