okay so i've been planning on fixing this car up since i got it over a year ago. the body has been a mess since i got it. so i finally found a good deal on all the body work and paint. both quarter panels, the hood, the passenger side fender, the trunk, the rear bumpe, both doors, etc etc. lol.

here's some old pictures for ya.

Looks way better than before, the color's nice, too. How's the quality of the paint job, though?

04-10-2008, 04:04 PM
-it's definitely not pink or purple. it's a very dark red. maroon i guess.

-the door jams were gonna be an extra 50 each so i decided not to. i didn't even ask about under the hood.

-it was $518

-econo did it.

too bad they didn't block the whole car before they paint..it will get rid of that unevenness on the flat surfaces(door and quarter panel).

Is that economy in Macon? Heard they did bad paint jobs, was thinking of getting my car done there but............. did yours turn out good.... In the pictures it looks great, but does it have runs, etc......? and were they pretty cheap?
