Re: Finally got some new paint Absolutely love it. More pics please! This is the first Maui Blue paint thread I've ever seen here. Whatever you do, don't paint those headlight buckets black! Looks great as is, so clean. |
Re: Finally got some new paint Also curious, how did they paint the car? It appears they painted each piece individually, disassembled? I'd like to do this with mine but I've heard too many people say that's very risky with metallics because it's hard to get the flake pattern right. |
Re: Finally got some new paint No way the headlight buckets will be black. The painter asked if I wanted them done in black, and I said HELL NO!!! They did paint it apart, and it matches perfect. He said theres a trick to it, paint each part as it is on the car. |
Re: Finally got some new paint That's kind of what I figured, I see no reason they couldn't have each panel off the car, but lined up next to each other as if they were and just go from part to part the same as if it were on the car. If you don't mind my asking, how long did this take and how much did it run? PM is ok if you'd like. |

Re: Finally got some new paint Also the pics don't do the paint & body work justice, it's very slick and straight. I"m very happy with the job. I wont say it's flawless, but it's pretty damn close. |
Re: Finally got some new paint Looks like a good deal at that price, very quick turnaround also. Get some nice profile shots out in the sun! |

Re: Finally got some new paint Looking forward to them. Was it a scuff and spray or did they sand it down to bare metal? |

Re: Finally got some new paint That looks killer. My sport coupe is maui blue for now, but I am planning on repainting it the original color, gunmetal. By the way my brother lives in Clemmons NC. |
