I just got my car finished up yesterday. If you didn't know, some punk kid hit my old front bumper and tore it off about 2 weeks ago. I picked up a new bumper last week and just deciced to have the whole car resprayed since the old painted was pretty junky from when I got the car. Only took 4 days of work and its all painted and lookin better than before. I'm not really sure what type of bumper I just put on, but I like the style. The place I bought it from just said it was a bumper that they have had for a couple years as display. So if anyone knows the style let me know.

Litchfield is like exactly between St. Louis and Springfield, IL on I-55. It probably the biggest town on the way to Springfield when you start to get away from St. Louis.

As for the paint we only used a little over a quart of the black metallic since it was covering pretty good, and we used around 3/4 gallon of clear. It looks a lot more better in the sun....there is quite a bit of the silver metallic in the paint making it almost look like a charcole black in the sun. I was quite impressed since I only took 2 days of wet sanding it and it was in the paint booth for only about 16hrs. I just have to wet sand and buff it when I get some free time.

yea i'm not really feelin the rims, side skirts or bumper, but that's you dawg, and that's what's important. I also don't have much room to criticize seeing as how i have NEITHER of my cars to post pics of.
