looks really nice.

Did they buff up the paint - it looks a bit dull in the photos - may just the photos though?

Nice car btw!

Rapture · 04-25-2004, 05:50 AM

it doesn't have any wax on it yet. Need to wait about another 30 days.

I love the reflection on the rear quarter panel in shot #1. The paint looks very deep. Nice car man.

prelude2005 · 04-26-2004, 10:06 AM

oh WOW, that paint is beautiful!!!

awesome paint job!!!

I would def. go with clear corners on that red

But that's just me

yohan420 · 04-26-2004, 02:04 PM

somebodys missin some signal lights

Looks hot man!! How long since it was paintd when you took these photo's ?

I can't wait to give my car the first wash with my genuine auzie sheepskin wash mitt .. ooOooOo ...

Theres dust dried onto it and water spots etc. It's been 2 weeks I think since its been painted.

Gonna baby it up with some meg's NXT .. opinions of using clay on a freshly painted car (5weeks after... )??? ...

Rapture · 04-26-2004, 02:25 PM

thanks everybody!

yohan420: They should be in today or tomorrow, I've been waiting for a week now.

It got painted about 30 days ago. No wax is on the paint yet. Why do you want to use a clay bar on your new paint? Orange peel or something?

yohan420 · 04-26-2004, 02:57 PM

Want to use the clay because my car is parked outside.. I dont have a garage. As well I want to be super sure that the entire car is clean before throwing on some wax ..

I'm going to give it some meg's #9 swirl remover following the paint cleaner or claybar (whichever I use) because the idiots dont know how to use a buffer at the shop I got it done (see my other thread in general.. ) then top it off with 2 coats of nxt.

ludevtec95 · 05-01-2004, 09:33 AM

How much was the paint job and what exactly did you have painted? door jambs? engine bay? body work?

NoRice4U · 05-01-2004, 04:07 PM

AlexLude · 05-01-2004, 07:15 PM

Prlude4life · 05-10-2004, 04:43 PM

looks nice with the sides and front lip painted.

joshmv · 05-10-2004, 05:19 PM

I had the same questions as ludevtec95 but also a couple others. I was thinking about getting a candy apple red paintjob but I thought it was supposed to be a lot shinier and have more of a pearl to it, is that just because of no wax or was I just mistaken?? thanks.

it's really pearly up close. It kinda sparkles at certain angles.

again i have no wax on the car yet and i hella suck at taking pictures.
