Getting car back from new paint job, post your opinions
I have an '06 BCP that was rear ended a few weeks ago. My bodyshop friend and I decided not just to repaint the car, but to better it up. 2 tone color. Top is tuxedo black with burgundy pearl and the bottom is original BCP. Also adding three coats of clear to strengthen the original paint job(no more chips). I should have the car back today. Really excited about this, I had no input on the whole deal, my buddy owns the shop, and he is really awesome at what he does. I hope to post pics soon. Let me know what you think. Also getting springs soon to lower about 2" all around.

Sorry, a bit of a delay.
I was expecting the car last night. Then the body offered a better paint job, more custom for a sponsorship exchange. I couldn't say "NO". We worked on the car untill 11:45 PM last night. It looks sick. Some pearls, some chameleon and some custom stripes to offset and this is one bad ride. Should be wet sanded and compounded today. I gotta get some pics up today. Will be late today. Be patient, It will be posted. But I gotta say, it looks sick.

seriously, why do people start these damn topics of "i need your opinion which obviously requires pictures so I'm going to just post this useless thread so that there will be pictures on page three after 50 people say SHOW ME SOME DAMN PICTURES"
btw, I was going to do the same two tone (maybe not the same exactly, but black on top with bcp on bottom. blah >_<)

The car is not ready yet. They want to wet sand and buff it really well. A few more days and thats it. Give me your feedback on what is here please.

You can't really see the pearls and chameleon, But maybe I can get a pic of it in the sunlight.
Here is what she looked like before the New paint
