Doesn't show off the paint much but you get the idea


Looks really good in person. Metallic silver was really hard to get even but it was worth it...looks real good

[witeshark]

Looks like it turned out great! Can't wait to see some more pics!

[vincentmb615]

look good check mine out wish i took pics

[84bmw318i]

thanks shark and vincent your car looks really good. you paint it yourself too?

[witeshark]

Does it need some time, like a month, to fully cure before waxing?

[84bmw318i]

yeah it does but these pics are old...i finished painted in August. but i did have to wait a month to wax it, but to be safe i waited 2

i want to paint a black stripe on the hood in the middle where it's raised, what do you think flat black or gloss

[denyo77]

hmm difficult question... I've actually wanted to do the very same...
you go ahead do it so I can have an idea how it looks like

[vincentmb615]

yeah it suckeddd i did a full sand down prime and paint it cost around 900 for the supplies and stuff i personally dont think a stripe would look good but if your gonna do it do it in gloss you have fresh metalic if its flat it will blow your paint off you know what i mean?

[84bmw318i]

yeah i know what your sayin...it's too cold to paint it anytime soon so i have some time to think about it

[89bmuh]

it does look nice though....i want to do my 325i but i want to get the body kit first just saving my money.

[vincentmb615]

i payed 800 for my duraflex on mine dont get em off ebay they suck

[german-speed-demon]

well i guess there is one nice thing to having a family conmapny. You get Jobber rate on the paint lol. it cost me less than 100 to repaint a car a couple years ago.

[84bmw318i]

it cost me around 500 to repaint it

[german-speed-demon]

good call man, i checked into a repaint and it was gonna be like 300 without duraflex about a month ago.
