What did paint cost?? Well everything needed like primer clear and all??

I'm so jealous. She looks good man. Job well done.

The paint cost around $400. Quart of Primer, Gallon of base, clear, reducer, hardener, acetone, etc. Though if I was to do it again I would do two Gallons of base. we nearly ran out of it.

Thanks Brandon. Now, I can finally put the money spending to rest for a little bit. Well, atleast after the wetsand and buff.

Yup, t70 Electric Blue Pearl to be exact!

Thanks man. It still needs a wetsand and buff but imma let the paint cure before I let my detailer go to town. A couple of weeks should be more than enough time.

Drive here we can have a photoshoot! lol.

Well, took all day but I got her all put back together. Only thing I gotta do is put the interior trim back together and the m3 lip. I still gotta get the car wetsanded and buffed so imma have to wait to put the lip back on.

I also got new mirrors.

Very very nice! If I wasn't orange I'd be blue xD

I always hear from painters that the shiniest job you'll see on a car is one unsanded. So however it is sprayed will have the most shine because it has NO microsratches.

Looks awesome though man, Great color.

What is up with the rear bumpers always being a different shade even when the car gets repainted?... lol

^^This is odd, normally I'd agree with that, but for whatever reason the silver behind the grille don't look bad to me. And X2 on the rear bumpers, they NEVER match!!!

Thanks dude. I think it's because we painted it seperately. if we left it on the car it would've probably blended better.

Thanks dude. That's in the gameplan. Super excited to get back from WI and see the car have a real shine!
