Getting Painted

[StereoInstaller1]

ahh, cant beat a fresh coat of dschwarz

In person, maybe...that has got to be the toughest color to photograph!

I love DS, but your car, clean as we all know it is, looks so dusty in those shots.

I wonder what could be done about that? I, of course, know absolutely dick about photography, but I would love to see just one shot of DS that shows what that color really looks like.

Great job, man...the Hartge wheels on that DS car is gonna be awesome.

...just finishing up and cleaning th car. it still needs to get wetsanded. i am waiting a while longer, and letting it sit outside since we are having this HOT weather (LOL, 70 degrees is hot in SF area).

also, i got the BBS' powdercoated bright silver. i might make these my winter wheels.

i still need to put on:
1) euro grill
2) ellipsoids
3) euro rear filler plate
3) gli recaro interior
4) momo steering wheel

i love the way those BBS look on the car. Paint looks nice

[Blip Bavarian]

car looks fantastic. I really want to invest in a proper paint job. How much did it run you? Including stripping etc.

Hartge > BBS

The weaves are sexy but are maybe a bit 'pedestrian' nowadays. The Hartges make the car stand out, and you can't beat direct fitment. If my car was a late model I would rock Hartge's in a second.

[BrewCity11]

Hartge for sure.

And fwiw, $125-150 is a good going rate for a quality refinish, so I disagree that you got raped. Are hartge center caps plastic too? How well did they match them?
