Update on Car Painting

[GTI]

Just spoke to the woman who works at Electro-Bake, I should be expecting to see the car by this coming monday. I was hoping I wasnt going to get a surprise call saturday saying it was done and have to get from orlando to spring hill lol. Today they did most of the sanding and tomorrow the painting begins.

For those of you who dont know, I got the rear spoiler removed, the front license plate holder removed, and am getting rid of ALL pinstriping. The roof and side mirrors are getting painted gloss black as well for that NSX-type look, or like the limited edition SC2's.

Going to paint it the same metallic gold color, but i think it will look better because it wont be as faded as much as the 10 year old coat that was on there.

If he did that, touchups will be a biotch. Always go with a solid color for paint since metalics are hard to duplicate

metlalic gold is te stock gold. Its not that shiney chip crap that you see on show cars and stuff.

That's cool, it should look great with a fresh coat of gold. I want to paint the SC1 silver or white with the gloss black roof/mirror scheme like the limited coupes as well, I really like that look.

How much is it costin' you to have it done??

got it back today. Getting alignment tomorrow. The gold is actually a lighter color than the original. It looks pretty god, but the stock wheels dont do it justice. ll put pics up when I swap wheels tomorrow.
