its not a body shop. My friend is painting it. He has the paint booth set up in his shop. I have seen a couple of cars that he has done, he does good work, i guess hes just not too punctual! He lives in Laurel MT though.

I assume you're getting a pretty good price since it's a buddy deal. Give him time. Don't rush him, or you'll regret it. Just remember the money you're saving and the quality you're getting. If you rush him you'll almost assuredly regret it.

I am getting a good price. I am not pushing him too much. I can cuss and scream on here all I want and he will never hear it! I finally talked to him last night. It is looking like It will be done in about two weeks. He even said he would deliver it for me since it took so long!

Powdered irridescent ghost pearl pigments that are great for mixing with custom paint, gelcoat, or powder coat.

I will be repainting mine in the near future, and it will be done just like that picture, with a really heavy pearl and nothing else....

I didn't think that your car could look any better......but I think that would do it!!! I haven't seen your car in person for a long time, If I had it I think I would sit in my garage and stare at it for hours on end (when not driving it!)

lol.. That'd cost me $600 worth of rubber just to drive there and back... I just bought ANOTHER set of Azenis.. I love those tires but they sure don't last very long..

You should get ahold of me when you are coming back thru bozeman.. that would work out perfectly...
