My body guy sent me this picture earlier today. I have not been there since before my wife’s surgery so not sure where he is at with the paint. I hope to go out there this week
My plans changed tonight so I made it to the body mans house! He was about ready to paint the white top and likely is right now as I type. The paint is VERY close if not perfect to the original color. It is hard to say what the original metallic level was but by the records this is the correct metallic. Can’t see it in the pictures though. Still has to buff everything.
Looking good! Don’t forget the two Jetfire silver paint accents. Gas filler and top of front gravel shield. Looks like you will have the car back by spring!
Thanks Jim. He had me send him pictures of the proper brake between the silver and the body color of the front pan. He already knows about the top of the fuel door and the opening. He also has to paint the little part in the top of the door jamb with interior silver that is between the weatherstripping and the headliner. He had forgot about that till I reminded him yesterday. Most all the interior paint is very good but we are going to go ahead and scuff it and paint it a very thin coat.
We had decided to go ahead and allow overspray on the bottom side of the car. I did not get a picture but it is very close to the same amount that is on my wifes car. Very happy about that. I did not have him paint the bottom side of the trunk lid and not sure that was a good idea now. I will look closer when the plastic is off and compare it to the paint inside the trunk. We are leaving the paint inside the trunk and under the hood as sprayed and not buffing it.
