Default Just got my car back from paint.

Well it's been about 6 months waiting and working on the car. I had a lot of body damaged. I was able to get that done slowly but it got done. I took it in to the shop to get it painted a while ago. They did the prep and so on pretty fast but then I burnt my clutch. Took me about 2 weeks to get it done because I took a trip for a few days. Now I just got it back and I will take some pictures tomorrow. See what you guys think, other then the front bumper LOL!

Congrats on the new paint. I'd love to get a paint job eventually but I know I'd be so **** (already **** about my 13-year-old paint and body ) about every little new swirl mark, rock chip, dents/door dings, etc. but after a while I'd just be like F it probably, I'm sure.

I took it the pictures from my cubicle. I had to because I can't take a break right now. So that's the reason. I'll take some at lunch time.

There is a change with the sun. Right now it's in the shade, but there is a brown and red in there when the sun hits it. It wasn't what I was expecting but it grew on me really quick.
