Talking New Paint

Just got my GL back from the shop and am so excited with how the paint turned out. I had the doors repainted and decided to go the extra mile and have the valances and bumpers painted as well. It stands out and looks so unique now. Now I'm ready for our SoCal photo shoot/meet. Enjoy.

Mel

Looks great, I bet a lot of people will do this when other body work is being done or just to clean it up. It looks more finished this way. Nice job!

Looks really sharp, Mel. Can't wait to see it in person and take some pics of Black and Silver. Check PM.

Jen - sent you a PM too.

Looks great, Mel! Maybe I'll do that with mine, since the rear bumper needs to be fixed.

I also found a huge rock chip in the hood. I was driving on Thursday & heard something bounce off what I thought was the windshield, but I saw the dent & chip today. Figures, I finally get a nice car and it gets beat up!

Looks great. I think that painted bumpers should be standard on GLs from the factory.

Yes I did. It's hard to see because of the side steps in the pictures. It looks much lower to the ground now.


Regards,
Mel

Wow! That's a huge improvement. If I ever need body work, heaven forbid, I'll get that done, too. Looks great Mel.
