    I'm definitely happy with the results. The guy did all the prep work, repaired a bit of rust, and even fixed an issue with one of the bolts on my bumper.

    It took longer then he originally told me (should've had it back in a week, but drug it out for 3 weeks). But I cut him some slack since the price was right.

    That was the factory color of my old 70 Mach-1.....I love it. The black striping will really set it off. Great looking job at a great price. You scored!

    I would get in line or take a number for that kind of cheap paint job,if I were closer. Looks like he did you a big favor,or at the least a good deal.Looks nice glad you like it, should last a long time if properly cared for.(y)

    That looks like a fine job. Is it single stage acrylic or base/clear? Either way, it looks like something to be happy about. Use all the resources at your command and very good paint jobs can be found for less than $1K. Way to go iMav!!!!!

    Looks great.

    Dont forget guys he had a really good base to paint over. Makes a huge difference.
    I cant even buy material for 650 bucks??
