I hate to do this but I'm gonna have to make them redo that front bumper. They didn't get the stripes straight. Otherwise looking pretty good.

Well the beretta is getting close to being done. The shop sent it to get detailed at a detail shop.

Nice work Dan, looks flawless in the pictures. I think styluss is right, after getting that nice of a paint job look into a clear bra of some sort. Here at work we use a roll on product for our paint booth that is peelable, but they make all sorts of applications and for cars also.
http://www.strippablecoating.com/Automo ... sking.aspx, I have a contact there too that has come to our facility that I could get you in touch with. He is really good and knows the right product to use for specific applications, I would check it out.

I don't think he did the work Wicked. He paid a pro shop to do it.

Dan, any pics of the completed , detailed,shiny car? I'm most curious to see it put back together and completed...

Well I thought I should post this since I forgot to. The paint job turn out ok.....I mean its like night and day from what it used to be but I not very happy with the way these guys treated my car. Every time I wash it or just work on fixing the interior I end finding something the paint shop f*ed up! I have found all kinds of missing bolts or clips, moldings not put on right, they broke a window (they did replace), left broken glass in the door, didnt put door panels back on right, finger print in the paint, overspray, and the list goes on. I have been able to fix a lot of their mistakes and more to do. But any ways here is a pic or two.

It looks awesome man!!!! Its too bad that the shop didn't have enough respect for the car to do the job right with reassembly. That has to be a huge frustration. Now you need to get them wheels powder coated and get some pics for the calendar.

For me the stripes are a bit much. They look great but I think they would look better with a solid black gtz grill or eggcrate.
I'm glad I'm not the only one rolling on bare gtz wheels.
