No more lovely bubbles/fish eyes now huh?

Looks blue in the pic. Is it the stock color? Looks clean with that hood

It's gotta be my camera then.

Nope, it's clean as can be now. Went with a base coat/clearcoat (5 coats of clear). Did all my own prep, a friend laid the color for me. Dropped it off this morning, picked up this afternoon. For the record, I hate bodywork. I think the wet sanding was the worst!

Looks good. It does look blue in the picture, but I know of a few cameras that will add blue to the photo.

Looking real good John.

Posted by JohnB (Member # 969) on :
 
Yes, he can color match and do pieces off the car (or just blends, if it's still on). I will ask tomorrow if I can get a CA Fords "discount" going, if there's enough interest.

$550 to shoot it? including paint and 5 coats of clear? if so then, DAYAMN!

Looks real smooth though, should be fun to WET SAND and buff

Let me know whatsup with that $550 job. I need a bunch of things touched up on my fastback, a new hood and trunk lid painted, so I might as well have the whole car painted. It doesnt need any body work. Pics in my sig. Let me know.
