i did the piano black to my car. i shot it myself, and it is really simple as long as you have the right guns, all of the equipment etc. i set up my own paint booth and after learning from my buddy who owns a body shop i shot the pieces myself. black base and 3 coats of clear. go to a body supply shop and order some paint and supplies. looks great if you take your time and do it right. drsifu, yours came out great.

There's MUCH MUCH more to the story than what's posted in this link. OP took his car back 4 times, leaving him with a bill from Image that was almost double what was initially agreed upon. Image swapped his OEM exhaust out for a beat up one from another G coupe. Although asked to not detail the car, they washed and decided it was safe to pour water over the engine, put harsh chemicals on the lips of his brand new Volk's that ate right through the clear coat, and not even remove the huge amounts overspray left on the car which costed him another $300 to have removed by ADS.

I've heard similar stories from other friends of mine...
