Cool Charlee's 8 Take 2: New Paint

So after much thought put in to the repairs of a buddies accident in my car. I finally took the plunge and paid to get the car repainted a different color.

I should have the car back in about a week. I miss my baby!!

It will be ready soon. here is the progress so far.

Here is a teaser of the yellow.

Went by the shop today and they painted the jams and trunk area yellow. So here is a sneak peak at the special yellow I am getting.

Its very nice *in Borat voice* The first picture is a better color match. Also the sun is setting..

So who is going to get some hot Bebo to do a photshoot exclusive with my car when its done? :2thumbs:
