Looks nice ... but I still think the Austin Yellow is an unmistakable F8x M colour

Too many 3 and 4 series M wannabe sticker their car this color

Yeap they aren't done yet ,sorry to tell you that it won't be kept yellow the engine bay
Basically anywhere the eyes can see that's yellow will be painted frozen blue ,except for areas where the engine components , important electronically parts need to be removed to paint , those areas they won't touch it

Yeah Austin yellow is awesome,one look and you can guess it's M4 can't argue with that
However after a year the frozen blue lover inside of me can't take it no more haha ,as to matte wraps after seeing quite a few of them I feel perhaps to most non car lovers it looks the same ,but if u really put them side by side in real or even some proper pictures you can see that it's just different ,so no worries there for me haha

Looks Pretty Great!

and this is coming from a guy who isn't a fan of Frozen colors. (not that that should mean anything )

I do have 1 question for you though..

Why Austin Yellow to Frozen Blue??

I would think purchasing a Yas Marina Blue may have been a better move as the title would still say blue closer matching to the Frozen blue.. vs the color saying yellow or gold

Maybe Im wrong... I dunno??

anyways seems like it might make it easier to sell down the road.. but im sure your only concern right now is to just enjoy the hell out of it!!

Congrats

Or why not go with AW initially and save $550?

Don't lie; I think the main reason you did this was to better match your brake calipers

Thanks for the really cool pics. Interesting to see the innards of the car like that.

Wow, that's really good. I was thinking 10k+ for this type of work. I was quoted 11k to respray one of my cars. It did include removing the engine though.

I wonder if you could find a cost like this stateside, while also getting a top notch finish.

USD goes a long way in a lot of other countries. You will not find that quality of work for that cheap anywhere stateside... unless it's your own body shop. Your initial quote of $10k+ is more accurate.

He's in Singapore ... the car itself costs USD300k due to massive taxes.

Labor in Singapore is relatively cheaper ... hence the USD 2.6k respray cost
