New Paint (updated)
***** Updated pictures on post #23 *****
So the car goes into the shop tomorrow as it is getting painted to solve a peeling issue. The paint is peeling on the pillars on both sides but it's a lot worse on the passenger side. I am going to try a little something different and I wanted to get your opinions as to what you think. I am planning on having the car painted black from the body line above the door handles up and then separating the two colors with a thin red pin stripe that is the same color as my brakes and here is a picture that I found that helped me to see the end result and I like it but let me know what you think.
My hood, trunk, B & C pillars, and mirrors are Carbon fiber and my roof is already painted black so it's not to much of a change, but I do like the end result on this car. The only difference is that he used a darker color red as I will use a brighter one to match my brakes and the lower half of his trunk is body color where mine is CF. IMO I think the body kit and my color will help to pull off this paint job as well .....
..... but that's just me.
Thanks
