Well I just stopped by the local shop that is Painting my entire car with SIKKENS paint. I must say the car looks like it was made of Plexi-Glass. The paint and clear coat look amazing....not a trace of "Orange-Peel". THis car looks better than when I took it off the showroom floor. I am happy that the entire car is getting painted. I have to thank the vandals for egging it 2 weeks ago. It is still in pieces but I can tell that when it comes back to life it is going to look great. Expecting delivery this Friday...just in time for the hunnys.

SIKKENS is good stuff, I painted my 90 with it about 8 years ago and it still looks like better than new.

It was about $3,000 but because of the other insurance work that was being done I only had to "out-of-pocket" $1000 a top my deductible.

Sounds like you are better then before with a somewhat lighter bank account. That paint job sounds sweet. With such a smooth finish I bet you will now be cleaning her with a Q-Tip and a toothbrush. I get a few spots on my silver SVT after washing and you can bearly see them, on a black car they will be screaming in your face 24/7

Dude, you can have a black Cobra or a girlfriend but you can't have both (too much maintanence). What's it gunna be?

I'll be in town this weekend. We hook'N up?
