I wonder if he knows he's being watched? Almost stalked. LOL.

If I remember correctly this painter lays it on smooth as glass !

New filters, too.  :D Must be serious!

Looking at this, I cannot imagine the metallic effect on the trunk matching the tail panel.  :-X

Also can't imagine painting it with hinges in, but...





Looks ready to me.  :)

That looks a lot like a Honda cycle color that I had painted on my 66 Triumph back in 1972. Looks good. Now we'll be saying we can't wait to see it assembled. :)

Its army green but with pearl.  :)  And yeah, I just want with doors on. But that will be a spell. Other parts might be two or three spells, who knows.

Now, everyone can go to the bathroom.   :arrow: Intermission. I did see engine on frame but wasn't carrying phone. :blank:

I'm not normally a fan of green cars, but it looks very suitable on this one.

The hue doesn't bother me and I am well pleased by the "effect". In the sun, it ought to showcase the body nicely. :)

The rubdown already started. Dry spray fallout from spraying inside visor-



It is not free from texture, trash, nor waves by a longshot. Roof doesn't look crooked or bent but the indent intended to be visible above the tucked drip rails was filled, so just above theres a line of ripples atop each rail now. Thats why I meant to leave the groove. Same thing where outer panel skins stop in door jambs. Filled with pucky. Still, I can't complain and am duly satisfied...



but you can see some peel here. Dig that sexy jamb though. Lord only knows how much me is in there.



Note how in the last two pics, the overall tone of the color shifts from a bluer shade from an oblique angle while the gold pearl dominates the face making a yellower color. Thats why I like pearls, you get two colors in one and boyoboy does that accentuate shapes and make 'em stare. :)

Fabulous looking car, with an enormous amount of work to get it to this point.

That looks great, as if they stamped it out of one piece at FoMoCo.
