A few weeks ago me and my car got into a fight with a tiny little tree, i lost a mirror and got some nice scuffs, (the tree however was uprooted). So my car needed work and maaco just happened to be having a sale. i repainted it a similar color from what is was when i got it. only this nice with a good bit of clear coat. The results can been seen below. By the way, you have my permission to be jealous.

Re: New Paint
bout $900, yeah it had to be metallic, i don't like plain blue.
future plans include white racing stripes (much like the dodge viper look) and window tint. but i have to wait for the funds. Being 19, and planning to go to college, i don't have alot of money

What kind of package did you get? I'm sure it wasn't the Ambassador one right?
This year I'm planning on having my Fiero painted red, but I wanna buy the sail panels and tail light cover first before painting it. So does it look as the oem paint?

Re: New Paint
yeah overall the car looks really nice, but u can definatly tell maaco did it, lot of overspray and such. it was the signature service. i can't remember the exact color right now. but the guy said he gave it 3-4 coats of clear coat.
Yeah i kno its missing the w68 front, but it doesn't look that bad with out em. i'll live. i gotta clean the wheels though, they have some kinda crap on them, polishing them takes a long time. i only got one wheel polished for these pics. the crap on my wheels turned my polish gooey very quickly, i only got one done before i got frustrated. i'll have to do it again to get it right, then finish the other ones.
