Assuming your car is NBP, I'd say stock...


Why is the car being painted anyway?

we had a hail storm in July out here in PA...the hail feel the size or marbles and I am not exaggerating...so I had little dents all over the car...and in a couple of spots the paint actually chipped off.

I saw you car this morning, i had to go over ther and put the equipment back in the escalade for insurance to come look at it. Why are you doing only the front lip? You should do the whole kit being the car is there allready. And you def. need to redo that system!

as far as the kit goes i couldnt get one in time for him to prep it....a couple of people on here claim they had one but they never came through. If i get my hands on one ill just take it back...and as far as the system i took off the beauty board that they had back there...and i want to redo the trunk thats why i sent you that PM...but its funny how you can make a post on here but not reply to my PM...but its all good...anyways how was the car looking so far with the fogs and the lip?

Just an FYI, that pearl they are putting on is going in your clear coat, and its called candy, your going to mess it up, the car will look purple. When I had my Legend coupe sprayed with that (it was white) anything that was black, trimming, ect turned purple. I say keep it OEM with lots of clear coat.

if you do pearl/candy to a kit later on, it "most probably" wont match

patience pays...you should put the paint on hold until you're 100% ready

Yeah I know...Joe (the guy that owns the shop) told me that if anything happened to the car its going to be hard for any other shop to fix it because you have to blend it since it has the pearl...but yeah I couldn’t get the kit in time. I had to make an appointment three weeks in advance and then leave the car there for two and a half weeks to get painted. That’s my only car and I can’t go without it that long. Plus I do a lot of driving depending on how the front lip holds up with all my driving I may just get the rest of the kit. Jersey roads are f*cked up ...so I dunno...but good looking.
