Gotta be honest bro that's a lot of orange peel. Since it was faded before, I say you upgraded, but do that car a favor and get it wet sanded and waxed pronto. Nothing worse than an inexpensive paint job that isn't finished properly. Yeah though, you are on the way to something good and there is improvement.


Too bad you didn't fix any of the dents though. Just fresh paint? Both sides had a pretty decent amount of damage.

I like the body color, but might I suggest painted the rims a glossy black color? It would look absolutely beautiful

Paint color looks alright, just get it wet-sanded. Not sold on the wheels though, they dont fit the car, nor to they suit the paint. I would have almost kept the old ones..

In for pics of the new interior when its done though. Although to be honest, 'Red, Black and Grey Suede With Carbon Fiber Accents' kinda scares me if it looks anything like the non-matching exterior. Remember, less is more.

It is a nice twenty-footer. Don't let anyone get you down about it. When you have time and money, see the dent doctor.

The red lipped rims hurt my eyes, otherwise it looks clean...

To take care of the orange peel and low reflectivity, take an orbital buffer with some light rubbing compound and lightly buff the paint, than use polish for several hours, than finish it with a nice wax, I prefer Meguiars Ultimate Products, but whatever you would like to use should work fine.
