Driveway paint job (satin black)

Solus · 05-16-2011, 01:12 PM

because wrapping it is like $3000 and I painted my entire car for $400

and it doesn't really matter to me because I am not getting rid of it. Once things pick up for me again I am going to end up turning this one into a track car so the loss in value doesn't matter.

As far as the quality goes the only negative thing I have heard from anyone that has seen it (to include a couple of the shops around here) was one guy saying he didn't like the color itself and isn't a fan of the "murdered" look.

Had a guy ask me to do it to his BMW M6 but seeing as how it is a $100k+ car I am not going to lol.

Meh, as long as you cant tell that it was painted in a driveway theres no reason to get hung up on people hating on the color. You chose it cuz you like it - all that matters.
