yea they were from the factory, i think he mean its not anymore, alot of guys on here do full on resprays before trying to save the paint (not saying his was salvageable) but it was just and fyi. i used to own a porsche 944 turbo s and ended up learning alot about paint, single stage oxidizes sooner but it can almost always be brought back as long as there is paint left

yeah i wish i would have known this before repainting it. it was probably salvageable except for the head and bumper which had a clear bra that had to be pretty much sanded off.

car scene is nonexistent. its pretty much my buddy with a wrx, me, a couple of muscle cars and a whole bunch of d series civics. lots of diesels though.. how is it in odessa?

new paint job

My car got keyed, and i ended up getting a color change since the insurance was paying for it and ive always wanted a white evo. I ended up going with a satin white pearl from the new WRX. overall it came out very nice, the white has a nice pearl effect with a slight sparkle. ill try and get some daytime pictures this is just the first time ive cleaned it in a while. I need to redo the engine bay to match the car color but that can be done later on. Any feedback is appreciated
