Sweet thanx man. I'm gonna check around here cause to re-paint my car it would cost 5 grand so if that way is cheaper then Hot damn I'm in. Plus, I found some rims that I think would look awesome with that paint scheme

a lot...like 2 grand. i talked to the guy at my shop about it he says it costs about 1500 just for the paint. that's just base coat...being there's no need for clear on matte colors. i think they put it on extra thick though. i always wondered how they wet sand and polish that stuff...do they even? i'll get some more info on it any post back here.

same as single stage paint ya noob lol
