I picked the car up last night. I cant wash it or finish putting it together for 30 days. At the end of the month the shop is going to wet sand and buff it.


This cost me almost $1500 for 2 stage color and clear, body work, and wet sanding and clearing all the carbon.


Maaco was the body shop and for what I paid I'm very happy with the outcome. I know its not 100% perfect but she looks a lot better then when I dropped her off.


Here are some pics from last night. I'll try to get some better ones today.

Not in the DC Metro area. I went to a real body shop and got quoted $6000+ to do the same thing.

my fault. i dont know what i was thinking. i tought u only had a few parts painted and it had costed you $1500. but the whole car for $1500 isnt bad at all.

:thumbup:


lol on the real body shop thing. my local chevy dealer..( since they have the paint booth there and all ) will charge anywhere from 4k to like 6k for a paint job. and thats with you doing all the prep work. but that rite there is like a OEM finish paint job.

I'm a tad bit confused why they're waiting 30 days to wetsand and buff it. You do that right after it's cured and put back together. You can put it together anytime you want if the paint is cured you just can't wax it for 30 days because the solvents need to evaporate. Strange that they said that....

Maaco and orange peel go hand to hand.
Don't you have aftermarket wheels for your car? Because the SRT snowflakes stick out like a sore thumb on your car.

The graphics are going from front fender to rear quarter.

ordered the custom powder for the wheels. should have it in about 2 weeks. ive pretty much run out of money so the graphic may have to wait a little longer.
