damn thats not a bad price at all i think the reason it was so low a price is cuz u did most of the dirty work already when u sanded the car they only had to prep and paint it. i like the color alot

Usually 90 days before waxing. Adding a glaze after you wash is OK though. Call the shop and ask them though. They'll know best.

shuolda got the moldings and rear emblems shaved.... looks 100000x cleaner. i think it looks kinda awkward with the middle pillar painted. be careful when closing your trunk. if you slam it too hard, the bondo will break. did they paint around ur sunroof too?

I didn't sand the car, all I did was replace the hood, fender and front bumper cover, they came primered. It's so cheap cause they use single stage paint, don't remove everything, they mask, and they are a production shop so they don't do things like shaving and custom type stuff. But they did what I wanted and expected them to do, a good enough job to get me by for a couple years and make my car look respectable again.

They don't do shaving and stuff like that. there isn't any bondo on the trunk, and I don't have a sunroof. The EX alloys fooled you huh?:rofl:

i thought u sed u had the spoiler molded on? :shrug: make sure the paint around the side moldings doesnt chip off. theyre rubber so they expand at a different rate than the metal of the doors. that's why ur supposed to pull them off when painting, then paint them separately
