Message	And you may just end up pissed and disappointed...as well as out $800... How good do you think a one-step pearl whatever is going to look? Whatever you do, take your time with this decision... Post up some pics of your car...have you tried to do any work on it with some polish and or a Porter Cable 7424, for example? There is a lot of information out there on paint restoration... use the search function! I've had very good results painting trim myself, it really makes a big difference, and there are success posts on here from other members as well. You could do a lot with a lot less than $800 and some sweat and patience. Good Luck! -___________________________________________________________-
