The Big Makeover

MAACO in St. Petersburg (34th Street) has been really, really great. Take a look at these before and after pictures of the Tracker. I think Mom might even want it back after this!!

For $300 they said that I had to paint it the same color, otherwise, it costs $100 per door to match the paint on the parts you see when you open the door. I decided not to paint it the exact same color but to choose a color that wouldn't clash. I wanted a really dark purple... something I kept calling "Midnight Purple". And I found it... it was actually a BMW color. What a difference!!

The Florida sun really does a job on the car paint.


Doesn't look too attractive here.


The new and improved Tracker!

These pictures were taken in the morning so there is still dew on it.


The clear coat is so shiny that the dark spot that you is the reflection of a tree.

  1. WOW!! The Tracker looks great. Maybe I will want it back. We can put it on top of the Jeep and haul it around. HA! It must be really dark purple because in the pictures it looks black.
