General range, how much did that paint job cost you?
It's amazing how cosmetically revitalizing a new paint job can be.

it looks awesome! can you share some pics of the engine bay, doorjams, and hatch area? That price sounds too good to be true.

I don't think anything can cosmetically transform a vehicle from being somewhat embarrassing to own and drive, to being something you can be proud to park in public more than a new paint job.
Looks good.

... fair

can we see shots of the door jams and bay any way? if the maaco masked cleanly it may still look pretty nice as a two-tone red/grey.

What color is that?

It looks like that Audi TT grey.

You may have inspired me to paint mine!
