That's exactly how I want my paintjob (that will never come) to look like!

~0 ~0 ~0 Looks great......Your gettting an M-Tech kit for that, right?

[M-teck535is]

Lookin good. Man I need to put my euro lights in stat!

[Dinan e28]

Ya gota love the fresh gloss black with euro bumpers

[Rich in Tupelo]

Oooohhhhhhhh..... Nice. Bib please.

[Shawn D.]

Wow -- it sure looks sweet in that silky black. Now you just have to make the other black parts look as black!

[booker]

Thanks, guys!:D

Nick C., No I will not be putting an M-Tech kit on. The only body-kit I will put on is a Zender rear skirt. I have not mounted it yet, because it looks so good without it! (@)

Shawn D., I have already painted most of the trim with SEM 39143. I like the contrast between the gloss and matte black. I do need to clean the wheel wells and such, though. The new paint makes everything else look reeeally dirty! :~

Thanks! I am partial to the french fogs, myself. I knew they would look good on a black car.

Well...

I have been working on this for a while now. About 5 mos. or so. I did some rust repair on the rear panel/valance, and mounted the euro bumpers. I then handed it over to a pro for the paint. The shop that did it is called Klein's Automotive. They do a lot of restoration-type work, and have a nice shop with a very nice paint booth. It was there for a month. I got it back last Thursday, and worked for 3 days straight to get it put back together. I will bring it back to the shop this Wednesday to fix a couple of spots that are unacceptable, and a final polish/glaze.

It's been a long road with lot's of work, but the results are nice.

Thanks, Todd. If I can drive it for 5 yrs w/o someone wrecking it, and if you're still making turbo kits, I'll be calling you for sure. Maybe sooner.

It looks really good, nice and straight and shiny.
Your lady friend is a cutie, too.

Sweet pics, Pat! Congrats on a job well done! The pics look MAGNIFICENT. Tell your paint guy he did a great job.

What's that Diamondschwartz POS next to your car?!!!

. . . just kiddin' Kyle.

I'm lovin' the yellow fogs, too. In inclement weather, they're much more useable than the clear lenses on the standard fogs. A really nice touch is clear turn signals with yellow fogs. Someone in CA has an E28 like that, and it looks sweet! His car is dark, too, although I can't remember the exact color.

Once again, good job, Pat! Enjoy both of those hotties (the car and the gal)!!

[Kyle in NO]

Well, I THOUGHT my car looked OK, but Pat's car's new skin makes mine look woefully sub-standard!

The difference between a REAL paintjob and one that's just decent is HUGE! I bow down and kiss Pat's tires

Nice Job Man... Looks Great!!!!:D I'd almost be afraid to take a car out of the garage with such a perfect paint job! (@)

Patrick,
BEAUTIFUL work and beautiful car! I want to get with you about how to do the euro bumper install correctly. Man, yours looks like a really nice, neat install so I'm all eyes and ears if you're coming to 5erFest. I know others here have done a nice job with their's too...and will be looking for pointers.
Best,
Tim
