New paint for my boosted ek

[EK9 BE3ZlER]

My car looked like ass. Complete ass. The guy I bought it from had his buddy paint it in his backyard without doing any prep work. Then I got into a fender bender and the paint couldn't be matched so it looked like ass. I took it to maaco so it would at least look like one solid color. I wanted the new Lexus IS350 gunmetal color but due to this color being the same paint code it came out black. They gave me some money off the paint job and it looked decent so I said screw it and took the car. It has a blue metallic look to it in the sunlight. My pictures of course don't show this but whatever. ALso it's pretty dirty so when I clean it up it'll look better.

All in all the paint job is decent. There is some dust and orange peel but no runs or drips. I think with a good polishing and waxing it'll look a lot better than it does now. Either way I'm satisfied. On to the pics:
