Getting my car painted!

[9DUBWISE]

It does cost a bit more but while you are already having it painted get the jambs done. My cousin got his black 99 Civic hatch painted CTR Championchip White and didnt have the jambs done and regrets it. Its not like the jambs are black, they are black with white overspray everywhere. He's embarrassed to open his doors around people. Just a thought. But bad ass color. Imma go with the Mazda blue that is kinda like that one. Cant wait to see it done.

I would have at least removed easy shit like the tails and headlights, so they dont fuck those up. Also be prepared, you may end up with paint on your tires

I can't wait to see how this turns out. You'll be happy with it man, and if there are a few things ya don't like, well you can always fix them down the road

Sublet/ENV: 54.00 (What is this?)

Pretty sure what they're talking about is hazardous waste removal, which is sublet to companies capable of handling the disposal of waste paint and clearcaot etc. properly. Seems expensive though, our shop only charges $5 on every job we do.

Wish me luck guys!

Just make sure Macco do everything that they list here.. many time they will skip a few.. and to a untrain eye they usually get away with it.

Oh yea they will never take out the headlights and taillights.... unless you tell them to do it... so my advice to you is to tell them to take them out because you will not like what you'll see when you have your lights taken out.

Looks alot better, I see they painted the moldings too, good choice. I would remove the emblems though.

And they didn't get over spray on anything

Down the line you can always get the jams done.

Just don't open the door all the way when you get out
