Hi Guys. Got my baby back today from the shop. She came out beautiful. Bumper , hood , drivers fender all needed work and paint. Color match is outstanding. Being a former auto body guy and painter my guy was great. I am detailing her tomorrow and will post pics. Thanks again for all the moral support.

Don't put any wax on that new paint when you detail the car! Let it cure for at least 30 days before you wax. Just to be safe, I always wait 60 days after any new paint goes on....

Thats is so true. I was apainter for many years. But when it came to my own car I went to my friend who does it everyday. Wiped her down gently and will wax her sometime next month. Still need to post pics. Tomorrow. Thx again.
