saving for a paint job sucks... every time I have enough to do what I want either something comes up where i have to spend my money on something else or I get a "new, better" idea for paint and it costs more...aka wait longer. sigh...

i was always told that when you need to wash it after a paint job, only hand wash with MILD detergents for the first 3 months. i think thats what i heard...

anyone care to clarify?

YgGreen1 - paint job costed $2600 for the basic outside of the car, and jams, and shave off the antenna.

soon as the car is color sanded n polished, i'll throw on my black pearl emblems too. then next up is my interior..
