Default paint

Hey hustler, when you got your paint job, did your bodyguy take the whole car down to the metal? (sandblast all paint off, take windows off, etc etc)? just wondering. Also, when weather/time permits could you post pics of the pearl? I have seen it on Silver, I would like to see it on black!
Yes, my car was machine sanded down to the metal, they didn't sandblasted it. They put on a test layer of black paint to see any imperfections, and sanded it off. They did alot of colorsanding to the JIC parts. They cover the windows and took off the lights, and emblems, before painting the car. I'm definitly going to post another pic, when the weather gives. I just wanted to show the club my coupe before I took the rims off this week.

just like that is fine, but a little crowded.

i say leave the "L" in the center and the soarer underneath and scrap the other two on each respective side.
