looks good man. Really like the gold wheels i wish my bronze wheels were brighter(more towards a gold color).. how you like that sherwin williams dimension brand? Pretty good stuff for the price. The only downside is the dimension clear has a lot more dieback than say the ultra line of clears. A good water seperator coming off the compressor is a good start for dry clean air but id take it a step further and invest 50 in one of those cylinder dryers that goes in line( takes a Toilet Paper looking cartridge)probably the best thing you can do aside from a refrigerated air dryer.

thanks for the tip. but yeah the dimension paint is okay for something that im keeping for sometime. i dont plan on living with this car for the next 5 yrs either lol... but yeah its alright for quick good looking paintjobs and i get lots of discounts with them.

So I sent my cl (97) to Get painted cause I was way to lazy to do it alone. I went with Fiji pearl blue. I hope it looks nice. I also got a stock spoiler for 50$ and free installation. Haha
so I hope it comes out good yaknow.

I'm in the Miami area also.(aventura)

That paint job done on the CL (flamenco black pearl ) did not look factory finish to me. I thought It looked flat.
