Default Got my car painted. (pics)

Its been a few months since I got my 944 painted but I finally got some time to post some pics. The color is from a 2003 VW Jetta GLI. Let me know what you guys think.

That looks a lot like the Cirrus Gray I had on my old Scirocco. Looks really good!

Hey, someone from PEI

Nice car, the re-paint looks very nice.

This summer I drove through the Island and what a nice suprise when I spotted this one for sale along the road




Quite a unique color.

Wow, both of those cars look absolutely stunning. That slate is beautifully smooth and looks like it came out very well. The wheels go well with it too. That orangey 944 is just spicy, I can't think of another word. I'd love to have both!

Thanks for the comments guys.

I know the guy who is selling that orange one....in my opinion he wants way too much for it, if I recall correctly hes asking $12900CDN.

Harrisonrick- I did all the body work myself, it cost me about $1000CDN to get it done. Also they are not Sparco seats, they are Racespex. Just a ripoff of Sparco, they are almost identical to Sparco speeds. When i got the car the original seats were in horrible condition so i picked these seats up for $300 for both brand new. For next summer i plan to have the originals recovered and back in.

Yup, sounds just about right. Expensive in my opinion.

Nice! That is a really unique look, yet it still looks "right", like a stock color. I am really liking the cookies done that way too.

Awesome job! Seeing stuff like that inspires me to think that my silver 944 might actually look respectable again someday. . .

Nice looking job and that color looks quite 'natural' on a 944.

Looks Great !!.....Your painter told you not to wax for 90 days right ? My new paint was 90 days old was the week for my P-car and I'm putting on the first coat of wax this weekend.
