It's ok kiddo! Just buy some new wiper arms and door pulls, put some effort into making sure there's no orange peel or those black finger prints by wet-sanding the paint after it's cured.

Get some wide black wheels and keep carrying on.

This.

If you yourself put some effort into it, it could be decent. Paint the mirrors black, shadowline the trim, paint the door handles black, get new keyholes, etc.
I don't imagine it looking too bad

and This.

It's not too bad. Get rid of the stray orange, wet sand and buff, put some black wheels on it, and roll out. Looks ok to me for 8 bills.

Someone quote Teaguer and put it in their sig.

my front fenders are pulled that's why they look like crap! someone who didn't know what they were doing pulled them. made the right front fender lip really weak. I believe that they are only putting a little bondo at the top of the arch on my rear fenders, hopefully i can still roll them and it doesn't crack in the rear as you describe. unrolled fenders = no good!

Disregard my previous post. I didn't read every single post prior to that, and this is just not going to turn out well.

You can't paint a car for $900. Mine cost $6k but it looks flawless. You learned something, pay the place, take your car and got get a job. When you save up enough money to have it painted for real, have it painted for real.

Wow Teaguer, way to make a entertaining thread un-readable.

[lovinmye30]

Wetn there today. again Noone was there too help me! only people who speak hardly any english or they are the "body guy" so i payed them the money took my car and am going back tomorrow again to talk with the manager. don't think it will get resolved.. What ever at this point! the car is looking a little better too me today. They is still paint drips, painted handles, painter door sills. They just don't care either. thats what is pissing my off 1000 dollar paint job should make me happy to look at the car! Should look better then the grey primer it was before. Any ways here is a group of guys that were at the paint shop and seen my car and were asking about it. they thought it was a joke as much as i did.... my door lock was already gone i was just entertaining him. lol

Dirty but life lesson learned dude,

Like the others have said wet sand and buff the bitch to get the drips out Google it if you don't know how to or bring it to a pro detailer.

And take some trim paint to the handles and door trim and slap some high temp paint on the muffler to make it official cut your losses and move on man.

It's not too bad, but now you know to never expect a car show finish when spending less then 1500 on a paint job that's not done by your self or a dude in mexico.

[lovinmye30]

the paint is looking better. i think its because everyone i show tells me its not too bad. and yeah I'm gonna paint all the parts matte black and throw rims on with meaty tires call it a day! I really like my e30 thats why when it didn't turn out the way i wanted it i got really upset. Ima take it as it is! Go back tomorrow and try to get some of my money back, i wouldn't mind paying 800 for a shitty paint job. But i work hard for a thousand dollars I'm only 19 and that was like a b-day(03/04) present to myself and they fucked it up! but its done now so whatever. Never going back to a Shitty place like that! they did clean up the overspray on my muffler and wheel compartment, not the wheel wells though.


My car looks 100% better with a front bumper on it! don't know why i waited so long to put it on! Euro bumpers!! pics coming in next post. Thank you all for your help.

[lovinmye30]

Looks like a great base for a LeMons car.

[Fidhle007]

The paint is already over budget...
