Wow, that came out really nice. I already liked garnet pearl but the sliver metallic really makes it pop, would have never thought of that.

Kick a man while he's still smiling I agree that they could have masked the exhaust a bit better, but the paint looks fantastic. I really want a respray next year.

I took a big chance and found the guy off craigslist. the good thing was he actually had a shop and not his back yard.

I can re-spray the overspray on the undercarriage with a rattle can..
