Sent car to the shop. w00t

I put my car in the shop yesterday to get the body work done.
Sh'es getting a new passenger side door skin, front fender, and about another $1200 worth of stuff done. (the guy before me couldn't drive very well) for $800. Man I'm glad I know people...she'll be coming back to me primer black and Me and my uncle will be painting her either a midnight black, midnight blue metallic, or something along those lines....(maybe a DEEP blood red color???) I was just excited so I decided to let it out here. Yay!

Give me a response, on what you think I should do as far as the color, maybe any ideas? I have seen a 240 that was BMW carbon black that looked nice too.

Hope everything goes well, and pick any color but blue. Simply because even though were not in the same state that's my color. lol

NOPE. i would cry if i ever saw a 240 with flames... i just went to check her out. She is down to BARE *** METAL, and is looking so clean right now He said She'll be done tomorrow, but is coming back a primer grey Oh well, that's only temporary.I did some searching and couldn't find not 1 240 in a deep red I liked.


And the search goes on.....I may just settle with vlack, or that BMW carbon black....

I don't know for you guys that can't get a shop....My uncle worked at Sherwin william for 12 years. He tends to have connections.... I think I handed him 200 dollars and he said he'd see what he could do. We are painting the car ourselves, but are still paying for the paint.
