Great color and it looks very straight. Is it so nib and orangepeel free you don't need to buff it out? That looked like a nice booth. So all total to paint everything in color, 1.5 of each color and 1.5 of clear?

VERY nice.

I only sprayed the jambs, trunks, bottom side of deck lids, and engine bay. Jake (in the booth shots above) is the man with the talent. I learned so much from him on friday. He is a real pro and knows exactly what it takes to get a top notch finish without touching it with a buffing wheel afterwards. In my experience the only way to get something like this with a garage paint job is to go with many layers of clear, cutting just before the last layer of clear, then cutting and buffing the final. That's what I would have been doing if Jake and Chris hadn't offered to help me out.

Probably some of the orangepeel will level out as the paint shrinks so it will look like a original finish or better. After a few years you could knock the worst nibs down and buff it out as you touch it up. The clear chip guard film on the fender bulges and edges will help a lot.

This paint is so smooth as it is, it needs no buffing. It's really hard to detect any orange peel at all. I think it's much better than a factory finish already.

You are close on total paint quantities. Roughly used 1 gal each color, 1 gal clear. That includes jambs, trunks, engine bay, etc. One of the great benefits to having them spray it for me at the booth, the paint was mixed as needed just before spraying each layer, so almost no extra or wasted paint.

Thanks Jamie. Yeah I couldn't be happier with the wheels, it's amazing what a difference the 16's make, and that polished lip is so nice.

Thanks guys for all the great comments. It has been a lot of fun taking a bit of a risk with this color and seeing it turn out well and fitting the character of the car. Now to get finished up. Got the dash back in last night with new vinyl and windshield seal. The windshield and back glass go in tomorrow.

Hey Gene, yeah it's been a few weeks since then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) You need to come over and check it out. Got the windshield and back glass installed today. Give me a call.
