He went from the color that you have to clean all the time, to the other color you have to clean all the time.

Tan interior looks better with the white than it did with the black.

Looks good so far.

Is that an average price? and how much preping did you have to do? I'm looking to get my car painted hopefully by next summer, and trying to see how much I have to do and how much i have to save, but 350 isnt bad at all! Looks nice!

As a (quote un-quote) Professional detailer you made an awesome desision going from black to white.
Sorry to all you black colored cars out there, but Black is the worst color you can have for a car if you want it to look nice. On a black car EVERY single little nick and scratch will show up, and it is extreamly hard to hid them. at work one day we had a black malibu. It took at least 4 hours to get all the scratches out of the hood. The next day we had a dark blue Truck with the same amount of scratches and it took about 45 minutes.

Also when you wax the car it is a lot tougher to hide the swirl marks out of a black car than it is a white car.

The best color to hide scratches in is Red, and I know white is right up there next to it. Props on the color choice! and your car looks awesome! lol

Thats why it only costed 350, when you take a car in for a paint job thats that cheap you better do any and all prep work for it before they get to it. And if you don't want it painted tape it off cause they take the gun and pretty much paint whatever is in sight to get it done as quick and easily as possible. :lol:
