Default Re: New... and had a question

Ewww yea don't cheap out on paint jobs.. not that you would but trust me. Good OEM paint jobs are ~4k ish. Good metallic paint jobs use primer coats, base coats, primary coat, then clear coat. Multiple layers of each might be required.

In any event, I'll see what I can find out about paint shops. At the very least get something with a flex agent or clear coat. No clear coat = salt eats it up, color gets on cloth when waxing, sun fade, etc.

Better to wait a couple more months or fit in a few more hours to save up and get something you will stay happy with.

edit: Oh, hi..
