Just got my car painted Flint Mica. I need opinions.

I don't know much about anything, but it doesn't look very shiny for new paint to me. I like the color though. OLT hasn't been wrong about anything since I've been on the boards, so take his advice. Maybe mention to your friend now that you aren't happy but you want to wait a month before you do anything yo give the paint time to cure. That way it's not a surprise if you bring it up in a month. What % tint is that on your windows?

Actually the centering of the emblems is beyong my control. For the 92 sc400 the emblems have prongs that fit into holes in the panel. I bought some black pearl emblems on eBay and they ended up being a little larger than the original badges.
In an attempt to cover the holes, the emblems have to be a little off center. I'm just going to have to get used to it guess. I was hoping no one would notice....

Actually, I'm taking the car to my buddy so he can wet sand and buff the exterior to take out any trash in the clear coat and give it that shine. Although its shiny as hell in the sun now, I would like it sparkling.
