Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.

Thanks for making me regret painting my car Plum Crazy instead of black!  :icon_smile_big:

Finally got her home, will post some better pics later.
There is some flaws, chips in the doors that will require both of them to be repainted. The hood looks like it was aligned by a 5 year old. Body guy is coming over to look at everything and said he would fix any problems.....



But in the end, the body is really killer. It's Black Glass

and the part that goes under the bumper and joins the two fenders together (sorry don't know what its called).
i'd just call it a valance panel.

I envy the look, but not the maintenance of that paint job. Looks great.

Well today I wiped up a spot that got some lubricant on it and when I was done I looked at the paint and it had all those little scratches that you get when you wash your car. So I'm sure its gonna be a pain in the ass, It's got 5 gallons of clear on it as well as who know how much wax and hand glaze, so i got a little lee way with imperfections. I love the way it looks though. I'd say black is probably the hardest cooler to keep looking like glass, its pretty reflective and the light will show all the little scratches.

Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're

Yup bumpers, door handles, stripe, all trim, and the rims will be flat black!
No chrome at all is the goal
