    Impressive, what do they charge for a color change like this?

    I regretted ever getting mine redone. It looks great, but I dont want to drive it anymore.

    I guess if I ever had to do this, I would pay a little more for extra coats of clear with the hope that any damage would stay in them, and not get down to the color coat or worse. Look forward to finished pictures of the car!
