Das Race: My '97 M3/4/5

[Jake]

OK so here's the deal. Maaco in Winchester does a lot of racecar paint jobs. They are single stage (base + clear mixed together), they are nowhere near perfect, they do it in a day, and they're c-h-e-a-p. I asked them for arguably one of the hardest single-stage colors to spray and they did a decent job of it. The car is now all one color (yay), all shiny (yay) and also kind of Technoviolet when the sun hits it just right (yay). They told me any other color would have come out brighter/more metallic. It's hard to photograph well from what I can tell so far.

Regardless, it's got hints of purple to it and for $524.99 I'm pretty happy. Going to do all white vinyls before Pitt Race in June. This is, by far, the best this car has ever looked in my ownership!
