looks pretty good!! you probably saved a good chunk of change having your uncle do the work for you

 

looks professional

 

Nice, looks perfect

 

oh yea i saved a good well comparing to what other shops wanted. but yea it looks perfect im waiting for some good weather so i can clay bar the whole car and wax it

 

the color match looks right on in that pic. looks like a good job despite the portable paint booth. any fish eyes?

 

looks good....

 

yea thats the only downside about the painting he doesnt have a booth but i did not spot any dust and it looks clean im happy

 

how much did he charge you

 

Looks goods. Seems to be on point. Man I wish I had a fam bam plug like that.

 

Where in NY is he? Can he repair dents?

 

Fish eyes? whats that

were fam so wasnt much but im sure if i send people to him it will be a decent price

yes hes in queens and yes he can

 

PM me his contact info please I'd appreciate it.

 

I have been told not to touch new paint for 3 months, just wash it

 

well my car is about one year and 2 months old

 

I would have taken the vehicle to a Nissan dealer. You should not skimp on bodywork. In the short term you may have saved money, but in the long term I would have had the car repaired professionally at a Nisan dealership. I hope that your paint job holds up for you long term. I also noticed the lack of a spray booth with climate control in he photos above. Seeing that you live in NY and the car was sprayed outdoors in the late winter all I can say once again is good luck.

 

PM me please.

 

the entire car will be repainted by a professional body shop in queens next year this is just temporary i dont wanna be driving around a new car with scratches

will do bro. tomorrow i will be passing by him to work out something after i get back i will post all info you need

 

for anyone interested

go to this thread and give him a call
