Finally yes! Lol. It took me going everyday after work for the turtles to move.

 

One thing I have learned (through 1st hand Infiniti Q45 ownership experience) is cars from the "oil towns" in TX and OK like Midland/Odessa, Abilene, Amarillo, and Tulsa are often well maintained by the 1st and possibly 2nd owners, garaged, and completely rust free. That is if you can find one without hail damage along the way.

Check out this 5-Speed I30 peach. I call this one rare.

Is that hood so shiny it looks like a mirror that shows the dude and clouds in the sky?

I know where to get my next car now.

 

there's soo much sanding that needs to be done to prep that car for it to come out right. there's enough bondo on that car for 3 cars. wow, i hope they spend the time to prep that $hit right.

 

almost done man, almost done. Go everyday to get them turtles moving, if u do.. u can get ur car back quicker !

 

Hopefully tomorrow it will be done. Keeping my fingers crossed.

 

let's face it, my grandpa could've painted that car faster than those morons. unprofessional and discourteous as hell is what that shop is to make you wait this long. i want dslr pics of the paint when it's done with close ups of all the rusted areas including how much time it takes you to clean up your wheels and make the rest of the car look presentable. trust me, it's going take you at least 2 days to make it look normal again.

 

I have the same exact feeling too. I think I might make a video of the paint job.

 

might take a week to watch unless you do a time elapsed video.

 

-Update-

 

Well its done guys, only problem there's some overspray on the hood. What gets me more angry is they don't accept debt! You know they could have told me that on the phone. My bank doesn't allow me to exceed more than $310 in atm withdraws so I'm out of luck. Have to wait till Monday.

 

That Idirty is cleannnn but the only reason its paint is so shiny is probably because the hood/body HAS been repainted due to hail lol.


Wow for a Maaco job it doesnt look bad at all. I honestly wasn't expecting much when you started this thread. Have Maaco fix everything before you pay them.

 

curious what color that's supposed to be?? not stock that's for sure.

 

S15 Silvia Brilliant Blue.

 

Woooow that blue looks soo nice!! especially it was from maaco.. but dude overall it looks good but man, get better taillights! like clear ones.. it will look so much better. would be nice if u show the overspray, I heard they're minor but heck its nice for the price i suppose! atleast all dents are gone, got nice paint! something good to feel good about.

how much was all this job? and why do u have to wait till monday?... curious why they dont accept debt.. money is money.. hope they dont charge credit.

 

Looks awesome, congrats!

 

and wait a minute, Isn't this paint color from the Maxima that was on the first fast and furious?

 

Thanks guys! Josh the Maxima from Fast and Furious was a Dodge Viper a bit lighter than the S15 Blue. More pics tomorrow. As for the tailights I'm ordering clears as we speak. Lol.

 

Manager texted me a few mins ago said I can pick it up tomorrow. Says I waited too long to not cruise in my Max. They only accept cash for some reason I couldn't pay because my bank was closed and the Atms have cash withdraw limits.

 

Insist on paying with your card.
I smell a scam.

 

Lol. I thought that at first but they have this pay method with all their customers.

 

 

^ got that right. Any business that is even close to a legitimate business accepts cards. If not cards, then they should take check. Cash only tells me the money is going into their pockets.

 

^ yeh.. sounds right, its going into their pockets. almost everyplace I go accept cards, and this body shop saying they dont accept debt cards... just gets me curious

 

-Update-

 

Nice color! don't see maximas like that everyday. Is it just me, or does the upper part of the bumper on the driver side, look like its not align correctly under the headlight? or could you just be missing the rubber seals that fit under the headlight.

 

^ not to me, looks all fine. and btw he has aftermarket fenders and front bumper. but dude I loveee that color, looks sick, dont even see a overspray... dont know what ya complaining about. looks amazing overall, how much it end up costing ya? might get that color later on if i ever decide to.

 

$1500, Josh. I just washed it today got dirty fast. Yeah the rubber seals are worn, Luke. Those came from a junkyard. I have a new pair at home.

 

thanks for the price, not just for me but maybe other people would like to know too, especially from maaco.

but that front end is soo sick... Reminds me of the maxima that was on the first fast and furious, im jealous lol

 

Looks very nice, good amount of clear coat on it too, now put ur 18s on it will look even better

 

paint looks nice especially for the maaco special! but isnt the maxima badge a lil to the right?

 

Lol. I noticed that too I'm taking the car monday for the hood issue, seems like clear coat overspray on a corner. I'll make a video when I get around to it. I just put the 6th Gen 18's on.

 

damn hope they dont keep the car for another month over the hood

 

how solid do the rusted spots they fixed feel? did you look underneath to see what the other side looks/feels like? fresh wheels and retro's man, you need a retro to finish off that look.

 

The maxima badge looks like its sitting to high also.

 

Throw the rims and visor on.

 

Rust spots are solid but you can tell its has fiber glass by the feel of it. Retro R34 or the stock headlights?

 

SWEET looking RIDE! Congratulations Man!

I bet it gets a lot of lookers. Just let your paint cure really good before you start rubbing anything on it.

 

Thanks bro. Lol. Yeah plenty of people in newer cars compliment it. And I love passing all the Honda boys and their high revving lawn mowers.

 

woow it looks so much better, glad ur enjoying the ride now, Im suprised how the paint came out from maaco.. I guess ya cant really judge maaco too much, i mean they did take forever but heck the job is done.
