paint job again

I know I've heard a million complaints about the paint job on our CLs but after washing it today and seeing it next to othe cars including bemers, it sticks out like a shiny penny. It shines so much more than average cars it's scary. Am I just prejudiced or what??

It isn't how it looks when the paint is there, it's how it looks when the paint isn't there (i.e. chips)..

I dont care what kind of car you drive, if it is driven atleast 1 mile per day, in time, there will be chipping of the paint. There is nothing you can do about it. Protect the paint with a product such as Zaino and dont drive behind dump trucks or in road construction zones. If you dont want chips, do drive the car.

I agree. I'm not dissapointed with my paint at all. It looks fantastic. Two coats of Finish First, and it shines like a motha. And on a white car it's hard to get that deep reflecting shine you get on a dark car. So, all in all, I'm happy!

As far as chips go, your going to get that with any daily driver. Just wax / polish the hell out of the nose. That'll keep her protected.

maybe you should color it this color and avoid mainstream color and poor quality...
