Finally done where I am satisfied new paint and Xm shark Antenna
Background --I got this car a few months ago. Gradually started to notice the paint was different colors in different spots. Once the sun made its appearance I was really able to tell. Went several places to get estimates of more than $1200 each time. Finally found a place that I could trust with less than a $750 estimate. Dropped it off and just got it back this morning. I am totally satisfied now! With the extra I had left over I decided to get a shark fin antenna( dummy) but it looks cool to me. Next step is to install some side vents with integrated turn signals. Will post pics next week after install is complete. Thanks CL without you none of this would have been possible. First set of pics is after and second set is before. ( I know that's *** first but eh. I am new to this stuff)

Nice, did the painter do a good prep job? Any over spray? and was $750 for the whole car? ... I could do without the dummy antennae as well, but it's your car and do whatcha like!

I wish 750 was for the whole car. It was to detail the entire car and repaint the parts that were different. I guesss it had been repaired but not painted the exact OEM color. Basically the moldings on the lower arts of the doors and front bumper were not repainted. It looks as if he painted the entire car. Especially when I wash and apply some 90% carnuba wax. it will glow like the sun. rest assure I will post pics. I tried with the antenna. Maybe once the door handles and trunk chrome are installed it will look beter.
