My 325iS is now in the paint shop... should be finished in another month or so. I won't go into too many details now, but it should hopefully be good when finished :-)

Seemed pretty good before it went to the paint shop...

I concur, but I'm sure it'll look even better when it gets out.

You must have some cash in the bank if you're doing needless paint jobs...

We need to see a good shoot of your car when its done. I'm still deciding whether or not I want tinted windows.

You should have seen the roof and trunk, the paint was almost non-existent. The front must have been previously repainted. Even our best detailing efforts, including wetsanding, could not improve the roof... I should have included a pic.

Mtec 2 is going on too, so it's good to have all the paint matching :-)

They should be coming out, the trim is all being replaced, including the seals...

Should I be worried? I presume they're not going to screw them up...

One word:

Overspray

[Leaf]

Nice, Your wheels are dirty as fuck in the shop man!

[Philo]

I wouldn't be worried about the wheels. Any competent shop knows how to properly cover wheels.

Good point; although I think the guy has been doing professional paint jobs long enough (20+ years) to know not to screw up a set of wheels. Besides, what would I do otherwise.... a set of steel wheels?
