Thanks, Max. It's the basic Ambassador paint from Maaco for $399. I had them fix a couple of dents and add pin stripes (which were done today) so it was $647 out the door with tax, etc. Given the price, I'm really happy with the results.
I dislike the color, but it's the original, Golden Brown. I refer to it as Light Poop. :-D
