Back from the paint booth. Pictures!

I hope you enjoy these pictures! I know it's not your 951's but I love it.

Well, luckily since Chico is a smaller city and my family knows a bunch of people. I owed the paint shop $1000. They did a very, very nice job. I was stunned when I first saw it. I didn't do anything. I dropped my car off and said bye. Lol. I just wanted it down fast, I didn't want to prep it myself. I know I need to paint the doors, and that will come next. And the lights I did myself with vinyl.

Was it white? Never. Haha. It's always been black. I just repainted the front. But thanks for the comments guys.

Excellent paint job! If you gave the rear "924 S" a little attention, it would be perfect

Dude...go to Jageng's website, order some new script letters for the 924S emblem...you won't regret it. (they are in the newer 968 style font...I did my 944S and its night and day better!)

Nice 944S. And I already do have another 924S sticker! Lol. I just haven't put it on yet. Because I'm not really sure how. I'll stop by a decal shop or something.

Looks like your in Central Calif with the almond trees in bloom. My favorite time of year around here. Perfect contrast for your new paint.
Did they use bedliner on the lower front valance before painting? Looks textured.

Northern California. Well Chico (Durham), CA. But yes. Lol. But yeah actually the front valance was done a longggggggggg time ago. It was sprayed with bed-liner. I didn't want paint down there because it get's chipped so easily.
