Ya, what did it do? Did you wet sand your clear coat? If that does that much to it, I need to do that too! i can barely see my reflection nemore. What grit you use?

your car flows so smooth...

if you could mold the door handles and see how many lines you can get rid of (like door jambs and stuff), your car, imo, would be so effin sweet

hey Guys thanks for the comments.

wet sanding takes off stuff called orange peel and regular dust that lands on the car in the paint booth (cause by bad ventalation)
Orange peel is the clear coat giving a bumpy look to the paint, so when sanded with a fine fine fine wet grit the orange peel comes off and so does the dirt.

so they wet sanded, buffed G3 compound in the paint to remove any fine scratches, than a high speed wax to finish it up

Wow, nice and spiffy!

But with a car as awesome blue-colored as your's is, I'd make sure to keep a close eye on it. Intense blue cars like that are a prime target for theft.

an average tint job will probably run you close to 200

watch out for those companies who do it for cheap (my friend got hooked up at 60bucks for his limo tint, but it's the worst tint job i've ever seen)...another friend got his hooked up at 100 and it came out pretty well
