i just painted my Emerald Mist sedan last weekend, it came out good, cost me less than $100. i bought the paint ( in spray cans) from paintscratch.com, got some adhesive promoter & wax degreaser plus some plastic sheets and tape from home depot, took me bout 3-4 hours in my garage. i'll try to post pics tomorrow.

DUDE WTF, there is like 4 Emerald mist sedans on this forum and you don't tell us when you do something cool?

You're kicked out of the club until you post pics!

hmm they really arent that matched but i paid like 40 for the paint and like 10 for primer. right now parts of it are sanded cuz there was overspray and ill redo it later. but eventually when theres time im taking my car to a body shop cuz theres dents on the right front fender. so while its there i might have them color match the skirts and gloss them for me.

Close enough man, that looks solid.

Maybe try that paintscratch.com for your next coat. Did you spray them on the car or did you take them off?

BTW imo, I;d paint your grille either matte black or glossy black. The flat doesn't really flow with the car that well. But something with a little more shine looks great n IP. I think this is the first time I've seen your car. I love it. How do you like the blitz? I've always been scared off of the single large exhaust pipe.

i was gonna take them off but got lazy and just taped off the body. kinda overdid with the tape just to make sure haha. i love the blitz cuz everyone i see has dual tips. but the large canister scrapes everywhere but i love it even more cuz of the sound. but i kinda wanna go back to dual tips.. maybe a dual 4inch. and youre right the flat doesnt really flow but i kinda like it and i think it looks a little better in person but matte may be the way to go if i use it somewhere else. are you planning to paint your lowers too? or have you already done them?
