[s-cars] Painting a Black S4 ????

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

R,
A lot of cars get whacked at the dock pre-delivery and
get a cheapass respray, which will probably check over
time.  My Evo had overspray all over it when I picked
it up, but nothing a good claybar can't fix.

If I were to do a total respray of my car, I'd do
something nice, like a pearl effect or even candy
apple.  That Lamborghini orange/yellow that's on the
Murcielago is pretty trick.

But then again, I'm a ricer.
But then again, I have 360whp.

Go figure.
