Stopped by last night, and they had the doors, hood, hatch, headlight buckets, etc. all in the booth to spray them.  Tonight the body with front fenders will get sprayed as well.  I'll get pictures as soon as I can get over there this week, hopefully with some sunlight.

All I have seen is some cell phone pix from the painter.  Pretty poor quality.

Looks like you borrowed Fabchilds camera.  :D

Love the color. Almost looks like my old Camaro I painted with House of Kolor Candy Cobalt Blue.

Lol, Ashley.  I meant that the picture quality was pretty poor.  The paint guys have exceeded my expectations with their results. 

Don - the pictures were from my body/paint guy's cell camera.  Kandy Kobalt blue was my runner up for paint choices.  It is a little brighter. 

I stopped by at lunch today and grabbed a couple pictures:

[attachimg=1]

[attachimg=2]

[attachimg=3]

You can see how different it looks with the sun from different angles when comparing the side shots from the front of the car to the ones from the rear of the car.  They are painting bumpers tonight, then letting it cure before color sanding and assembly.  Slow progress, but the results are beautiful.
