Alright, I dug around through some of my old pics and found these three.

The lighting in this first one isn't that great, but I don't have many good front shots of the car for some reason.



These next two pictures are my favorites. I really miss this car.

pictures can be deceiving..
and paint procedures are different for ferrari's and honda's.. as is with mercedes and toyota..

basically there's the oem quality.. orange peal is left ont he paint..

hot rod paint job... each layer of primer, paint, and clear coat is wet sanded before next layer.. resulting in a much glossier and deeper shine..

then there's the rolls Royce paint job... I recall a shop doing one for 50k or so...

That is true, of course But everyone who saw this car in person absolutely loved it. I'd show it in person but the car is totalled... sorry.

Thanks for the help. That looks like good work on the del sol Minako. I remembered you saying that it was totalled which is why I didnt ask to see it in person .

I thinkI'll try to find what I can in the hot rod style of paint job (gloss = fun).

A good "hot-rod" paint job with that much wet sanding is ~$5K+, usually closer to $10K. The next level I call Concours, ~$30K+.

Yeah... good paint jobs can run you quite a lot of money. O_o

The work on the del Sol came out to a little over $3k, if I remember correctly. But then again - there was no orange peel, the body kit was molded in, and the paint (although not "hot rod" quality) was deep and glossy.

Man the mustang isnt worth a 3k paint job... though it would be great for fixing. Ah well.
