Default Update on painting my car...Most of it should be sprayed next Saturday..BWW

Spent the day sanding. I need to fill the door trim this week, and fix a few dents and dings, and hopefully find a passenger fender. Color is going to be BMW Sterling Gray Metallic.

And a couple better shots of the black roof on the pearl white a4.

Default can't wait to see the results!!! u leaving the roof black?

i take it your painting the door jambs, etc as well?

at least you're staying with a silver/grayish color.

i kind of want to paint my car ferrari le mans blue. i think it would be close enough so i wouldn't have to worry about spraying the engine compartment and stuff.
