Yeah, apparently they only came in silver!??!?!?!

Yours must have been painted as well.

It may also be nice to know Vu has some of the white in case I need any in the future.

Just popped in checking other forums and ish. Car is looking good, but I'll point out a few shortcomings on the painters end. He should have pulled the head and tail lights and the biggest boo boo was not removing the trim around the conv top. Over time if the clear is going to peel that will be one of the first spots as there is no way to effectively get the clear under that trim. Otherwise the work looks pretty legit.

I have to agree with 2poor^^ and I'm surprised they didn't mask the top while sanding... that stuff gets everywhere!!
But it does look pretty good so far!
how many coats of clear did they spray? any sanding between coats??
