Finally painted my TL, I thought about selling it but decided to give it a new paint job instead. Originally it was black with 20's. Now its purple with new rims and tires 18" rims, I know some peeps wont like it but oh well, let me know what you guys think.

thuper cool!
maybe a fatter rear tire or lower it a little...
but overall, I think it looks so much nicer now.

Got it paint at F&H Sons Auto body in Merced and it cost me $4,300 and was completely torn apart. I post pictures later

good stuff man, thats a good price. Right around what I paid to paint my car as well but mine was in Canadian money lol

Color looks good It reminds me of certain someone who had a very similar color on his TLS

I agree with RS though, the rear needs to be lowered more to match the front.

Thanks for sharing the price. That confirms the body shop by me is way high! They want $3500 to paint both rear quarters/doors...

I also agree that the tires need more beef or moar low to compensate the narrow tires.

Paint looks great too!!!

It's nice that you decided to re-paint and re-invest instead of moving on. Interesting color choice, definitely an eye catcher.

Thank you all for the positive feed back, I thought about buying a newer TL (2016 TLX) but decided not to. I probably ended up spending close to $7,000 after everything that I bought for it.
Like: Rims and tires, new switch back side markers for front and back, OEM window vents, drilled and slotted rotors for the front and back, RL calipers & bracket, RDX brake covers, JDM fogs, Tein Street Advance coilovers and EDFC II controller,new CREE led high power bulbs for my high beams and fogs plus some other stuff that I cant think of right now. Here's some more pictures,

dam quantity money sure does give you quality paint job, this is the proper way to paint the entire car (except for the engine bay) great price BTW for the nice work.

I like the color. Not a bad price, especially if they did all the jambs

I'm undecided if I should put on the red inside the Acura symbol, What's looks better? On or off.

aztec209

Yes, jams were done and it was sprayed with 3 coats of clear, wet sanded then 3 more coats were added again.
