I just got back from the body shop. Sadly, the car was on the lift and the paint is curing right now so I couldn’t get any good pics of it. Once the paint has cured they’re going to color sand it, so this isn’t a fair representation of the finished product.
Here’s the actual paint:
It changes colors so much it’s kind of crazy. Depending on the lighting and what’s around it, it can look black, grey, dark blue…I have a feeling it will reflect the pink stickers and have a pink tint to it once it’s all finished.
Here’s one angle, where it looks almost black:
Turn 30 degrees and catch the light a different way and now it’s dark grey (yes, it’s dirty, and no, that dirt isn’t actually IN the paint):
You can kind of see the grittiness in these pieces, they’ll be nice and smooth once the color sanding is done:
Painted door handles, woot!
Some part of the bumper, so you can see the flakes in the paint:
And finally, the car itself. The lighting is horrible, the paint looks nothing like it actually does, and I was on the ground holding the camera over my head…other than that, it’s perfect (lol).
Hopefully I’ll have some *real* pictures of the car soon. I can’t wait to put the white and pink vinyl on it!
