They're going to spray the trim, Weezle wings, and tail lights tomorrow. I hope they start putting it back together thursday. They did bake it in the booth after they got through spraying it. I'll try and get some more pictures tomorrow.
Looks good! How many coats, Jay?
I want to get my car painted now that I know your "secret"... lol

Car looks great Jay, dont let anyone tell you otherwise, theyre probably the same guys that rock primer gray for 5 years because theyre "waiting to do it right"
is the second color more neutral than the first blue? either way, if its the same color i love the vibrant blue.. if now, i love the neutral blue. flake looks great. spoiler looks fucking sick.. your car just keeps getting sexier.
Looks Good Jay. Can't wait to see it. Weather has got to break soon man, it's freaking march and still freezing cold.
Ugg Jay....Now I'm gonna feel awful when I bring my beat up car to Indianapolis with you ><
Does look good though.

:boink: was a decent day here. Got 3 dents out of the truck and while I was sitting in the truck I saw one more on the 89 that was only visable from one angle. Patrick I'm planning on coming up the 14th. Hopefully be able to get together.
Ben, it's not the exact same color. I took the color that it was and I added a quart of the stock 8j3 to it. It's goint to be a shade darker, but it's still a little lighter than stock. I like it and I can't wait to get some good pictures of it out in the sun.Bigzavs;1524131 said:
Some people may have more money than me. I saw a good chance to get my car painted for a couple hundred dollars and I went for it. As of right now, I'm glad I did. Once I get it home and can really inspect it I'll make my final decission.lewis15498;1524164 said:
Thanks, unfortunately I can't take any credit for it. They did it all, but with me standing over them with a whip and free pizza. I took five large pizzas to the class today for the kids.brgrubbs24;1524175 said:
I can tell you that it has two coats of primer sealer, two coats of base coat and three coats of clear. I was there and watched them pain the whole car. If you're referring to the other times I've had it painted then that could be why my car weighs four thousand pounds.......lolIJ.;1524184 said:Be interested to run a paint thickness gauge over it J
You're not going to get to see it until you bring your new one up here for me to inspect.jugodegolf;1524300 said:
almost the same color zambini, but not quite. This probably doesn't have the same amount of metal flake in it since the stock color isn't as flashy as last years color. Hopefully I won't regret adding the 8j3 to it. I won't know until tomorrow. I get to bring it home and start putting it back together.zambini;1524571 said:
I know that's right. It was suppose to be 47 here today and it never made it over 38. I think this weekend will be nice though. You should come out to the races. I'll have my car there.bhmsupra;1524597 said:
Mario, I feel the same way about my beat up mug........that's why my car is soo pretty. I have to compensate. If you looked like me, you'd paint your car too.SupraMario;1524621 said:
As stated above. I get to bring it home tomorrow. I've got to put it together thursday and friday, tune it saturday at the dyno, and then go racing saturday night...................wooooooot!!!!!!

I'll let Phillip know so he can hopefully have the money to buy the Stinger. If he doesn't have it all, I'll loan it to him and then let him pay me back.

LMAO Ian for real! That'd be a real talent
I got the car assembled today. I haven't washed it yet and I still have to have it wet sanded and buffed out. The paint job turned out really well. It does have some little bitty pieces of trash in it, but they'll buff out once I get it detailed. I have to mount my fog lights and then it'll be finished. My engine bay needs a clean up in a bad way..........I can't wait for George to come over and do what he does.
George should have a slight delay on the way up Jay. He needs to stop by and show off that beautiful car on his way up. Now I just need to let him know about all this.
