Car got paint, thought I'd whore it out a bit. It's funny, the old paint on it was so bad, that now I'm seeing all sorts of dents and waves in the sheetmetal that I didn't know were there. I also replaced the original front bumper cover, which was cracked, and now I realize that the front passenger corner is tweaked a bit (probably also from whatever cracked the bumper). SO I'm going to try to straighten that out, I'm going to look into paintless dent removal, and of course I have a few more items to deal with, like the side belt moldings, installing a blue pill on the front clip, and deciding what to do with my 5.0 badges.
By the way, it's a very heavy metallic black, and all the trim is non-metallic black with a little flattener added to make it semi-gloss. I wanted the trim to have even less gloss, but the painter said he couldn't add any more flattener without having problems with the paint (???). I dunno, it didn't come out half bad, so I didn't really push him too hard.
Opinions welcome.

. But seriously, magnetic badges wouldn't be the worst idea in the world.
