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

[R. Mair]

Yeah, does sound cheap, but he and i do allot of business together. He only
charged me $3500 to install 1/4 panels, trunk panel and other alignment
issues, plus paint and stripe my 69 camaro, which by the way looks reeeaall
nice ;-) I'll let everyone know how it turned out!
