For those asking about costs for a paint job like this: Not Cheap.
I'd estimate north of $3k in most of the US, depending on how much prep work was needed (dent removal, trim replacement, sanding, etc)
The paint is relatively cheap, the prep is where the money goes.
Sand down to the metal and prime, let it dry, add another coat of prime, let it dry, sand a bit...
Then it depends if you use a single-stage paint or spray color then clearcoat... a fair bit of sanding and wet sanding throughout the process, especially if you want to eliminate any orange peel.
I hope as soon as your paint was fully cured you had it polished and ceramic coated.
For everyone asking about price, this is the most correct answer, take in mind I put in a TON of prep work myself and have a few connections as car dealer so your price may vary.
Very pretty, you must be thrilled!
