The paint was laid down in a small shop by a guy named Rico -- he does reasonable and affordable work. I wanted to stick with metallic red and shoot the car in 2000 Mazda Laser Red (I had a 626 in that color and always liked it). Rico blew it on the paint and got 2011 Saab Laser Red, which is also a good color, and he gave me $100 off, so there's that. I brought him the bumpers (upper and lower) off the Swift -- I also had the Swift upper bumper with grill trim (and lights) but no hood, so that wasn't going to work -- we didn't realize the Geo hood didn't match the Suzuki lights. (I may make that upgrade in the future, but it'll be a few hundred to buy and paint the Suzuki hood).
Rico shot the inside as well; he didn't pull the headliner, so there is some minor overspray on the B and C pillars I'll have to get when I clean the headliner (goof off?). Still, all in all, it's a 9/10 in my book, plenty of depth to the clearcoat, it's a nice color, and any flaws are only visible from VERY close up (some dimples in the clear finish on the roof from dirt in the paint area, a couple scuffs from buffing, etc). The bumpers look like they are new.
