It's really hard to tell on the progress we made especially on a white car.
Brightened the pic so you can see the corners of the license plate panel where it's still "tan" looking and the rear bumper where the work was done. (yes we didnt do the inside license plate, we were tired at this point)
Pretty much the was that color or a little brighter. Now the whole car is really white.


Solo shot in front of my house with good light. You can see the dents (towards the rear) now, as well as the touch up paint, and the neglect from the preivous owner.
