        You put your own name on your license plate frame?

            It's got the "one day paint job" look but at double the price.

            The quality of prep work and making on my DIY paint job that was done in a PARKING LOT is 10x the quality.

            You've provided great entertainment, this thread has been hilarious and I thank you.

              Nice, color looks good. Painted trim looks like a one day maaco paint job. Not talking shit just telling the truth. If you want a nice lip, Blunttech has the IS lips $135 shipped with the clips.

              From looking at the pics, it looks like your license plate lights got painted. Thats why your lights look dim, have the paint guy clean it off.

                  Great payoff seeing those pics. Finish looks good man. A better one can be had for less, but who freakin cares, right? You're happy, I'm happy.

                  This thread finally delivers. Congrats.

                        That reminds me, I hope that when you say you're going to fix some small dents next week, that you mean Paintless Dent Repair (PDR). Otherwise, as many have implied, it should've been done before paint, when it was being blocked out.

                            I suggest you steam clean, or at least engine foam the engine, then pick up some UV additive and a black light or UV flashlight and run the car for a short while, then look for where the color is, or have your pro painter/mechanic replace every seal/gasket. Your choice. I know you won't listen, so maybe just go to the auto parts store, make a wild guess and buy one random seal for your m20, and go with that.

                              or you could check your oil pressure sender, or your oil filter housing...
                              Did you go directly to Maaco for that paint, or did you stop at a coffee shop to buy a cup of joe to drink while he did it? ;)

                                Painting the trim black, I think it will look much better... Something just didnt look right.
