Finally painted!

Well I finally bit the bullet and took a week off work to paint my xB.

*Thanks to my employer Collisions Plus for letting me have free rain of the shop for 5 days and Enrique for all his help.*

Colors:
Graphite Gray Pearl/Metallic - TOP
Bright Silver Blue Mist Metallic - BOTTOM
Black Metallic - 1/4" BODY LINE STRIPE, EYELIDS, GRILLE
*the rest of the car specs are in my profile.*

Subtle Body Mods
Shaved rear bumper lights + tow hook door.

Enjoy the pix.
Keith

THANKS SO MUCH!

Questions...... Yes Progress Coilovers.

As for the cost.... materials say about $1k(paint, clear coat, sand paper, masking tape/paper... ect) + another $500-$1K prep and paint labor. So around $1500-$2000 est.

My numbers could be way off.... but thats just a quick calculation in my head.
