Default Progress on my car!

Hey Guys,

For some of you who knows me, it's been last year since anyone has seen my car. It was time for a new make over and especially because of performance on the paint job that I had acquired from my last body shop, wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I wouldn't like to say it was a poor job, but it could have been better.

Below are pictures of my engine bay and with the engine removed, you can clearly see what kind of prep work and steps they took to paint my engine bay.

This was one reason why I was determined to get it done right!

With my new exterior set up...I figured, what the heck, might as well respray the entire car.

The shop that's currently working on my car is Autowerks from El Monte, CA. The best thing about these guys, they never over book! Their facility is never packed with cars! This way, they can focus on one car at a time and not jump around to the next and their customer service is superb!

OLD PAINT JOB






NEW PAINT JOB






The paint job is not done yet, but I will keep you guys updated from time to time. Thanks for looking!

Curious as to how much they charged you to paint entire car inside out?
