Re: NEW MEMBER =) 2000 Coupe A/T BMW Gunmetal ....

I see what you're saying, but I'm referring to the way the reflection changes tones from the front fender & doors to the rear quarter panel, and then again from the rear quarter panel to the rear bumper.

Sometimes that's caused by the car being painted in pieces (doors, bumpers, and/or other parts removed), causing areas to "flow" unevenly.

Don't mind me though, I'm very picky when it comes to paint quality. Maybe it's just the lighting conditions of the picture. :thinking:

I noticed the same 'breaks' in the flow of paint, especially with the rear quarter and rear bumper, but I guess the chop quarter post explains all that.

nam, do you have any close up pics of the passenger side?

BTW, not knocking your uncle's work, I was just wondering if different camera angles show that the paint flows a bit better.

Nah its kool. He doesnt do the work himself. He just owns the shop and the mexican dude inside does the painting. But to your question about the different angles, ill take more pics and ill see for my self too. it kinda bugs me but what can i do yanoe. but when your standing from the rear looking you cant tell.

The exhaust tip is just a bolt on.
