its funny...its just brand new 2-stage paint, which is base coat, then clear coat. i think danielle's is the same thing, and hers is just as new as mine...so why does mine always seem to reflect so much? i dont even wax it...

shine also has a lot to do with colors, types of paints, etc. etc. Hopefully this spring, a co worker's brother will be painting my car. But that's only if he is still doing them, and if he doesn't quote me an outrageous price. If he does... well, then its back to ES I guess.

It must be something there for them to suck so bad. I really hope I find someone pretty good around here who will paint my car for a not so bad price, or I'm gonna have to take her back there and that makes me sad.


So Caleb, did you decide to stick with the chrome or get rid of it?
