A few minutes ago a light coat of basecoat was sprayed to make sure everything was straight. Tomorrow the entire car should be fully painted and clear coated.
 The color looks weird but that's not exactly the same color. It's going to be lighter and with more metal. That's just a cheap basecoat to look things over. The paint itself is a custom color. Looks awesome in the sun.    I'm so happy that my car isn't black anymore and it's finally shaping up.

Ferdi, he's paying for the paint and materials. AnaXyd, the hood has little dings that both didn't see. They fixed the big ones but those ones that I saw were invisible with the primer. After it got painted, they became visible, but they still didn't see them. I literally have OCD and take medications for it. I can see a ding or imperfection in the reflection of the paint from a mile away.  Also, the trunk lid has a lot of imperfections that weren't fixed. Front bumper paint is too thin and didn't stick too well. A little rock will take the paint off. He's coming to my house to repaint it and fix everything that I'm not happy with (the owner of the shop). The guy that did the bodywork is an older guy with mental problems but has a heart of gold. Bad thing is that he pays no attention to detail whatsoever. If it's something big, he'll fix it great, but little things just aren't his forte. Car looks fine from far away, but if you get close you can see those details, which aren't a big deal. Car looks beautiful, but I want it like OEM paint. I'm too picky, and I didn't pay $3000 to have imperfections that rob me from my happiness and give me stress. Those same wheels are getting repainted in matte black by the owner of the shop.
