Got My Car Back After Fresh Paint
It looks pretty good, bad thing is it's gotta go back 
There is a spot here & there on just about every panel, and the new spoiler leaks water into the trunk
The metal trim around the rear glass is not fully re-attached where it meets the roof There are a few other things im not happy with but overall it's not a bad paint job, what makes me pissed is all the little things that need to be fixed.

Looks pretty good from here! You should paint the key suround on the drivers door - kind of sticks out now! It reminds me of Kandiedz car from the lighting and the background.

Looks damn good to me! I'd be thrilled to death if mine turns out that nice. If you don't mind my asking, what did your paint job cost?

I had one painter quote me 5g's
Also remember this is a RS, they had to bolt on the scoops and mount the rear spoiler plus fill in those holes on the rear deck lid where the old spoiler was.
And I had the door jambs, rear glass, radiator support and cowl panel painted.

This has nothing to do with the paint, but why is your name "Raiderfan" but you have forums.cincybengals.com in your sig?

the car looks great, I considered repainting my car that same color. If there are flaws on about every panel....the shop should definently take care of it. What exactly are the "spots"?

Car: currently thirdgenless!!!
Raiderfan,
It looks great. The stock color was called Purple Haze Metallic. In some parts of the country I think it was also called Hawaiian Orchid.
My 92 RS was that color. Seeing yours makes me want to buy mine back from Snuffy!!!!
