what can i modify next ?
I just got a quote from a guy who works on my job site to paint my Z28
Euro Black - wet look

$ 3,500 - he will have the car for 3 - 4 weeks

he won't guarantee the spiders webs on the lower ground effects in front won't come back

I just saw an H1 that he painted a new color and it came out very cherry -

Some of you saw my Z on Tuesday @ Hooters - what do you think

Also he will paint a 2nd hood to match - so now i'm looking @ aftermarket cowls and ram airs

well aside form the fact that it looked like somone took a brillio pad to the top of your car the paint looked fine. Maybe you could wet sand, compound and reclear coat it out.

Ask alex for a quote. He does do this for a living.

If he is not willing to guarantee that the spiders won't come back then I say no sale.

I got my bumpers fixed and it was guaranteed for 1 year that it will not spider. And when the front did spider he stipped it and repainted it.

The bumper lasted until the wife backed into it.

$3,500 is a lot of money for no guarantee. Thats why I am going to paint my own car next summer.

no guarantee no deal, if done right, there is no reason for spider crack to come back, bar none.

I have decided to pass on the paint for now
I drove the car home from work last night and I am now gonna concentrate on some performance and suspension mods before the paint

I know trhat this is the natural order :doh:

I also can't buy into painting before winter without a garage to store it

so the new plan is 1st of spring - Alex maybe next time we meet up you can quote it.

Oh rly? I thought it was just a good excuse for a car to look shitty.

Guy 1: "Hey, your car looks like it needs a paint job"
Guy 2: "Well, Im really working on making it fast first, then Ill paint it"
Guy 1: "Totally agree with you on that"

Some cars never get painted. It serves as a good disguise for a sleeper.
