My 5.0's new paint job!

My 5.0 was vandalized about 3 weeks ago, So shes been in the paint job getting an entire new fresh paint job. The whole car was stripped, sprayed black, sprayed with and extra coat of clear and wet sanded and buffed smooth to eliminate all possible orange peel =)

I couldn't be happier with the results and I'm glad to have her back after 3 long weeks of waiting! Grand total was $5700, thank god for insurance. Eventually I would like to get all the plastic trim done flat black.

That's what factory paint should look like. The workmanship looks incredible. Enjoy!

It looks like they did an excellent job. I love the Saddle interior as well.

Could you not have had the body shop paint the plastic trim at the same time, and paid for it seperatly, while they had it there?
