No, should of gotten a supremo paint job for something that has thier name
on the car. You would think they would of paid alot of attention to detail.

>third - Was it a cool,  non-stock color ?

Very!!

Yes and only because you will want to paint the door jams, under the hood
and hatch to match the rest of the car. If you dont, it will look cheap!

I had alot of body work done. Almost every fender had a ding and I was rear
ended which pushed in the license plate area. It was a $300 paint job, $100
for my racing stripes and the rest was body work. The body is straight now,
my biggest gripe is that its peeling in (that cone didnt help none either!)
some areas. I have a warranty for those defects but it will take them long
to fix it. Also, be sure the price includes color sanding. It will bring out
the deep quality of the paint job. I thought it ws covered in the price but
guess again. NOT!
Right after they painted my car, I found that the paint on the bumpers were
peeling, so I took it back and had them repaint the whole car and fix the
wussey racing stripes. I gave them specific instructions. I even went out to
the painter and showed him what I wanted on the car. I told him I wanted 2,
two inch stripes one inch apart over the drivers side of the car. What I got
was 2 stripes (I was impressed he got that right.) one inched wide and 2
inched apart. If he would of read the work order, he would of gotten it right. 
Its fixed now but it took them 2 months of "no car time" to get it right.
Most of the time it was just sitting outside. Im dreading taking it back to
them again. I found a 81 Scirocco "S" for $1700 maybe ill go look at it........
