Yes it is Garnet Red i think.

 

get a nice coat of wax on it and invest in a car cover, the more you can keep the car away from the elements the longer it will last, with MAACO is hit and miss, you basically got a guy doing it that was been carefull and taking his time...i have seen some where they dont tape anything other than windows and lights, and i can see they respected the black lip and other trims.

Nice job, remember 80% of a paint job's quality is labor not the product use.

 

Are you taqlking about a car bra?

 

I dont think M34LNCH is, but 1UZ-SC was talking about the 3M clear car bras...i just googled it and they look pretty legit

 

Did they mix your paint from a paint code, or did they color match off of what was already on your car? I'm thinking about getting my SC sprayed at maaco, and would like it to be as close to the factory color as possible..

 

i have no idea. All i asked was for a quote and they said 350. i said ok how long does this take he says 3 days. i said ok i want it factory color painted he said ok. thats all. The car also has glitter in the paint! i bairley could see it with my original paint but now in the sun its like wow!

 

Looks pretty decent for $350..The bumper and the hood looks great from the pictures...The only flaw i see is that they didn't wet-sand the car after they sprayed it, you could tell on the driverside door..

You get what you paid for especially with labor..I would be a bit skeptical for paying someone to spray entire car for only $350...Clearcoat is expensive, so I wouldn't be surprised if the bumper doesn't hold up too well to rock chips..Regardless, looks like you are happy with the results. Congrats on the new paint..!

 

also im getting clearcoat from someone and he is giving me enough for just the bumper. should i apply the clear coat on the bumper? would this make the the bumper more shinney then the rest of the car?

 

I wouldn't recommend spraying clearcoat yourself, the paint is going to look dull if you don't wet sand and polish with a rotary buffer when the clearcoat dries..You also need to blend in surrounding areas of the paint with the clearcoat otherwise it'll turn out to be a different color..

If you never done this before it can be very diasterous..It looks fine just as is..

 

looks pretty clean for $350..i might just go there..a local shop quoted me $800 for bodywork and to paint the whole car plus door jams or $1000 for a different color...

 

Enjoy that gloss while you can brother !

 

More pics please.

 

Great deal for only $350, I wouldnt complain. I would just have a friend in the body shop business spray an extra coat and color sand it to a brilliant shine.

 

clean. did u sand your car or did MAACO do it?

 

Nope, all i did was wash the car and gave it to them.
