my 87 300D has been painted!!

at earl shiebs....yes i know they can suck but the redwood city shiebs has a good reputation...well sorta in my case (few things need to be fixed)
Overall the paint job is amazing! i got their "top of the line" pro-4 paint job (there are 4 stages of paint jobs) normally costs $700+ but was on sale for $500 at the redwood city location. There are some things that they are going to redo.

They have to re-sand and paint the rear truck lid, i had removed all the trim myself and specifically told them to remove the glue that holds the "300D" "turbo" badges in the back. and forgot to do it! twice!!

So i have to take it back in on tuesday, but the owner of the place is a nice guy. He said because of all the inconveinances he will add a second clear coat and paint the back of the mirrors for free! So the second clear coat should make it shine more. But after i let the paint harden for a month or so ill use liquid glass or that british auto glym stuff.

Here are the pics.

After


On my crappy camera the paint looks white. But its really a cool vanilla like whats on the limited chrysler 300C's and PT cruiser's.
