    I got paint on the car, I think it turned out pretty good, my mentor says it will look great after sanding and buffing. The blue is not quite as dark as it appears in the pics. We are gonna do small trim pieces, hood and trunk lid in the morning.
    This is it for pics until it's back together, so Frank if you wanna see anymore you gotta come by this weekend.:p
    Does it look as glossy as a base/clearcoat job should?

    What a coincidence, there's a quart of POR-15 chassis coating sitting on the table behind the car.
    I think I'll "photoshop" them before Frank shows up tomorrow:biglaugh: :rofl: :yup:
