i wouldn't make the conclusion that you can't remove the scratch when all you've tried is a product sold on infomercials.

What do you mean by a custom paint job? Why not try and do it yourself. I know you said you would mess it up but why not try? And Blue with the red rims does not look good btw.

Spray guns aren't expensive. My dad and I screwed up on the temperature...it was so hot out the primer dried before it hit the car lol! And it still turned out fine.

I Would Strongly Suggest Getting A Roof Scoop In Carbon Fiber Too, Those Are Awesome In NFS Most Wanted [Plus Roof Scoop Will Give You Mad Cabin Ram Air Effect]!!!!! :-) and Then You Can Remove Your Air Condition Since Its Dead Weight Ya Know.

oh and get a wide body kit too.

but in all seriousness i think flat black would look nice. You could get the stuff you need for relatively cheap. I say paint it yourself.

What other colors could i do? Is it cheaper to get it satin flat black? How many days uyou think it would be till i get the car back?

can you get me some pics of satin flat black car.


When they pint the car do they remove any thing? How do they tape everything up to not get paint on it?


When i get it painted ill put my stock hood bakle on i doint want them to scratch it.
