Default The smell of fresh paint...

Finally got my GT painted. Here is a collection of pics from before, during and of course after. The after ones don't do it justice because its been cloudy/raining here. I can't wait until 30 days is up so I can wax it. Sorry for the long list of links but they wouldn't upload the other way.

Thanks. My dad didn't like the two tone either and kept trying to get me to paint it all one color but I saw another GT with the lower in silver and not the stock titanium and it looked great. In the sun the silver really stands out and makes the car.

I got your pictures, then cleaned and brightened them up. Looks good.

Oh yeah, by the way... don't wax it until you cannot smell the paint anymore.

The reason for that is because if you can smell the paint, it's still curing and any rubbing can damage paint that isn't cured. As soon as you can stick your nose to it and not smell it, get to wax on wax off Daniel-san.

Only thing that smells better than fresh paint is that new car interior.

LOL, I think I will stick with Meguiar's. I wish my interior smelled remotely close to new car smell...

I remember what they said in Christine about the finest smell in the world but I'm not allowed to say that here...

Oh how I wish you could record the smell of a fresh paint job. I loved walking into my garage in the morning and smelling it.

Car looks really good!

By the way! I'd recommend new headlights to finish off the "new" look!

Everything is shiny and awesome except your headlight lol

did you replace your rear quarter panel yourself?

if not, how much did a body shop charge? that is the only thing holding me back from primer.
