Very well done bro. A lot of time and effort went into this, but I'm sure you will love the final product. :-D

[02stu]

you mean you didn't just keep waxing it every three days to cover up the bad paint.


Looks awesome man, great thread keep up the good work!

Inside the booth it looked a little like delphin grey

Thank you for the encouragement, guys. I can't wait to get it back. I did find a few things I was not happy with on the paint, but it should be resolved as the doors, boot lid and hood have to be painted (also the mirrors, door handles, rear window winglets, front spoiler, sunroof panel) so there will be another paint mix and clear coat application. I was told that by this coming weekend I should have it back. The only thing holding up the re-assembly of everything is the styrofoam sunroof trim that goes around the sunroof aperture and back toward the rear window. Without that I cant do the headliner, so no windows...I will be at a standstill until that comes in from the dealer...it is on BACKORDER!! :(

In the booth the color was deceiving to me as well. I went there with my camera and asked the guy "what color is that?!?!" He started smiling and told me to come back in the afternoon when the car was outside. A few uneasy hours for me, but it looks like Cirrusblau (or pretty damn close) when it is outside. The while booth and the flourescent lighting made it look like gray which susprised me as well. I'm sure the color is not EXACTLY cirrusblau, but it should be very very close....much better than before.


I wish it was just waxing every 3 days...if that was the case i'd be waxing every day!! :D


...bit cheaper too! LOL
