I put some pics up in the I30/I35 board, but I just thought I'd post a couple here so people could see how my paint job turned out....

your paint looks off the hook. what is that paint call i was thinking about painting my car if i don't get the color i want and thats type of color i want. also how much did the job cost you. and how long did you have to leave it in the shop?
Well, the color is the factory Infiniti Dark Metallic Blue. I thought about repainting the car a different color, but I really liked the factory color so I stuck with it. The shine is all about the wet sanding and buffing that was done after the car was painted; that is what really brought out the shine. I don't know what brand of paint was used, I could ask the guy next time I see him. The car was painted by a friend of a friend that does a bit of side work, so if anyone is in the DC area and needs some paint work I can get you his contact info. He has been real cool about making sure it was done right. Including the wet sanding I paid $1575 and that included having him paint the entire mirror housing and the trunk lip spoiler. The car was in the shop for 4 days total. I'm really happy with how well it turned out, esp considering it didn't cost me a fortune. I was planning on selling my car in a few months, but now it's going to be hard to part with it!
