    Default Average daily driver w/ new skin, 56K, go wash your underwear...

    Hey guys,

    It's been awhile since I posted a new topic. I haven't been frequenting the forum very much lately. Time is hard to come by these days. Well, I had the hatch painted St. Patty's Day weekend and this is how she turned out.

    Color = Isuzu Brushed Pewter Metallic Paint shop: Sprayglo [Lilburn] Ran me about 800.00 ::: I wish they would've paid more attention to detail and gone the extra mile in some cases, but I settled with the outcome since it's just a street car. Next time, I'll do my own body work (hint, hint).

    I realize, there's been alot of this spectrum car color lately. Well, what can I say? I've always liked the color. I have a pair of mirrors that will be painted soon. I'll have to post some daytime pics some time.

    They did a good job of taping everything off...none of the moldings were painted. I think they actually removed most of the moldings and put them back.

    All the jams were painted--under the hood (not the engine bay), doors, hatch, and complete tailgate...

    What I was disappointed in: I told them I wanted everything to be smooth and perfect. I would have paid extra to have some of the dings smoothed out and imperfections removed. In one spot, it looks like a spider crack was just painted over. You know, how there's like a relief in the paint. Overall, they did a good job.

    No more polished hood. And, blah, I'm tired of the rims. Yes, I still rock the 1.6 non-vtec. :confused: Comments welcome:::

    Before :::|>

    After :::|>

    ^^^I only got one shot in before toy cop tells me I couldn't take pictures. :mellow:

    I took my car to Sprayglow about a year ago to give a try...went to the one in Lilburn...not bad but not great either...had to take back to fix some stuff and the paint still looks pretty bad....they mean well but the quatlity of their work is very questionable...price ain't bad though...car looks pretty good puregroove...and just tell the Discover Mill's security to go away...been harrassed there myself a few times but usually left alone...

    looks like a quality paint job for 800 bucks man. thats about what maaco would charge for color change and door jams, and its a lot better than maaco.
    i might bring my car down from charlotte to get it painted there. any idea how much they would charge for just a respray of the stock red, no jams or anything??

    ^^^ 300.00 less...Since I had the jams painted at the same time. He only charged me 75.00 per jam. 75.00 x 4 = (door jams (2) + hatch (1) + hood) 300.00

    I used quite a few coupons, too. I forgot to mention that. That's why the paint job was the price that it was. One of the coupons was 1/2 off the paint package.

    amber corners are on order...Sprayglo broke one of the ones I had on there before I handed over the keys. That's why the stock ones are on there.

    got some new mirrors that will be painted soon, too...

    Thanx guys.
