Default A Few New Paint Shots......5 not so dial up friendly shots

Got a call from my painter this morning and he said I needed to come see my car. I tried to seem not too excited about it in front of him but man, I can't wait. This is gonna be awesome. The car still has to be wetsanded and buffed to make it perfect but it is looking great. The shine is like a mirror. I can't wait to see it outside. He said maybe this weekend or the first of next week. I told him now is not the time to be rushing it out the door, but that I am ready for it. It is gonna be sweet with the new chrome. Plus I also have a new set of TTII's I got from T-top Tony that have cleaned up quite nicely. Stay tuned for more pics.

Here are the ones I shot today.

wackedvette, I think after having to wait so long for the car I will wait for a little while before I trade it. :D And I hope your car turns out twice as nice as mine. Just make sure you post pictures of it when you are getting it done. :thumbs:

Sharky Guam, The paint is the blackest PPG made and it is clear coated. Still to be buffed so it should be even slicker.

Ratman 467, Guess what, I almost went with the red that was on the hood when I got it from you. Your car looks awesome like it is. Thanks for the compliments and keep an eye out for more pics.

Joe the paint is the blackest black that PPG has. I don't know the exact numbers on the paint right now but I can get them if you are interested. Shoot me an email.
