Go to Glenn at Christians Autobody. Drop off your car. Then pick it up later with black calipers. He can do any color you want and any lettering.

Send them to Mike's PowerCoating. (Just search forum or google)

He does AWESOME work and turn-around is only a few days.

Her car is a daily driver. Mike usually takes a week. You have 1 day uninstall, 2-3 days shipping there, 2 days of work, 2-3 days shipping back, then 1 day reinstall.

I do agree his work is awesome though.

Glenn is a single day turn around. I dropped my car off in the morning, then picked it up that night.

If you do a multi-step, DIY probably won't work for you. Mine took 17 days.

However, if you went straight color, no clear, and apply stencils instead. You can get the 1200 high temp paint then cure it in the oven, you should be able to finish in a day.

17 days!? Half months of work. Never the less they came out great!
