I'm guessing your wheels are an almond? Would look great with your bezel the same color. That is a sharp color.
If you don't mind me asking, what was your total cost? I'm either going rattle can or MAACO but live in a condo and weighing the options...
I call it tropical cool aid.

JKohler02,
I went for their "Presidents" option, their best, it was $999.00 but I had them do the dashboard and inner door & rocker panels and they said that is extra. Total was $1400.00. It's a base coat/clear coat job.
I sort of got lucky because they screwed up on the clear coat, then couldn't get the color match right and had to do it over 3 times.
I totally lost my patience with the manager but as it turned out I know I got more than one coat of paint on it. Blessing in disguise, I guess. I'm sure not all franchises are like that, though. In fact, there was a guy with a '61 Cadillac there when I dropped off my Cruiser who told me he brings all his cars there and his Caddy looked awesome.
Bottom line, it looks like it's made of glass and I've got 5 trophies to show for it... Had it done in 2006 and it still looks like the day I picked it up.

I was curious what your cost was at Maaco. I need to have mine painted and yours really looks nice. Do you have any more pictures?
Just got done with mine! Summit racing pacific blue. I love it. Was originally gonna go silver, but it looked just like the steel I had been staring at for 2 years. Had to change it.

Maaco
Yeah it was $950 with some body repair they welded in some rust damage on the sills and such. I did the removal of all the trim panels I could and the lights so they had little prep work, but I did have undercoating all over it too. I bedlined the emblems that were in bad shape too.
All in all a great job! But two tone would be an extra $250 for the white roof. Still deciding when I can do that.
