Car Finally PAINTED!! (56K WARNING)

Okay after all of that time of posting pictures with my car's paint all messed up I finally have some decent pictures but work is FAR from done I still have to do the dynamat and other electrical stuff for the winter time and then think about what kind of rims I want to get it ready for the spring so guys please post all of your opinions about the car good or bad it really doesn't matter.

Thank you. ;]

Vantage should not be trusted
paint looks sexy, what colour was it stock? why u get it painted?
I think gold or silver and *bronze*are the only colours of rims i would put on a navy blue car, bronze looks MINT tho. I vote for Volk TE37's in bronze.

Thank you for the compliments. The color stock is Eternal Blue Pearl the reason I got the car painted was because I bought it Salvaged and it was crashed in the rear and had scratches and dents all over the car so my Dad painted over the whole thing over in the same color. I was planning to get 16' inch rotaslipstreams in bronze but I am not sure if it will be bright enough to actually bring out the paint. But it would def. be in gold/bronze, I just need to figure out which rim would look the best.

Nice!! But arent u suppose to take off the bumper and lip and paint those while theyre taken apart? Cuz wouldnt the paint crack if you were to take off the lip or bumper cuz they just sprayed over the lines??

i dont know... it looks good as far as i can tell, but arent you supposed to take off the the body panels before you start to paint the car, i.e. headlights, body trim, etc. you didnt get this done from Maaco did you? when you open your door or trunk or hood, do you see a different color?
