Here's some pics you asked about; it'll be easier to just post them from fb than resave and email.

Hopefully it will be within the next week. All of the trim arrives on Monday except one euro grill that is back ordered. Suspension parts and brakes are all here can't wait to get it back together!!!!

OK so it was a very productive day! The booth we had to use wasn't ideal due to a breakdown but this one did the job.

6 coats base and 3 coats clear.

We did 4 coats then a little wetsand to get the flake to pop then 2 more.

All the paint was PPG Deltron and I tell you it was worth every penny!

Used about a gallon of paint and 3 quarts of high solids clear.

More pics to come these are just from my phone--need to get the others uploaded later

Next step is wetsand and buff on monday.

Wow, that is going to look amazing!! Great work, man!

I love it that old owners of the car are on here. I wish I could have words my the PO's of my car...they'd have some 'splaining to do!! :x

Can't wait to see your call when she's all done!

paint looks great! Before the clear it looked like frozen grey metallic.

paint is so fucking sexy..... if i ever buy another e30 it will only be because its an m3 or if it had delphin grey paint. such a nice color.
