I am well pleased with the quality. Now to just keep the pollen, bugs and dings away from it, at least for a little while.

Looking good and good job with the bra, I wish mine had a bra as that would have saved the front from all the chips and such.

Not bad, $1,000 total. I just finished giving it the first wax job this afternoon. Now it really shines, better than new.

He sanded the hood down to primer due to the number of stone chips, then reprimered it with a sealer coat. The rest of the car was your normal sand and paint. Then he went back with base coat/clear coat, with 5 coats of the clear. Followed by a wet sand job. The price was right because he is a friend and owns his own business. He did a very nice job for me and way below normal cost.
