I'm very jealous but it also gives me the the kick in the pants to do mine. It looks like a great job.

I have to decide between a paint job for the 93 or a crashed 97 for a transplant in the 90. The wife won't let me have both...

Looks like a very nice job. Much respect for doing your own prep work.

Wow they really went all out with that car. I worked as a sander for 6 months so trust me. And you really can't go wrong with white it covers up ALOT, not saying you had anything before but on an older car white is the best color and black/metalic colors are the worst. Do you know what grit they sanded the car down with finnally before it went into the booth?
Anyways your car looks great.

Thanks for all the comments! There will be more whorage after it is put back together with pinstriping. The paint in garanteed so if the pinstriping causes it to degrade they will fix it. I think the white car is just too plane without the stripes.

Bright White

Im not sure what it was before paint, but afterwards they are going over it with 4000 grit.
