Default Here are a few pictures of the new paint job!

I can hardly wait to get her waxed and put back together. I have been cleaning the chrome trim and today will start work on the OEM 92 SC400 chin spoiler courtesy of my father's green 92. My dirty camera lense does not do this car's paint job justice, nor do all the florescent lights.

Could just be the camera, but some of the door jambs and gas cap area look like they need to be touched up some.

I seen that to, was thinking it was tape lines and plastic. Looks nice! I really need to do a repaint someday.

That is the 3M compound over spray that has dried up in those areas over the course of the last few days. The car has yet to be detailed at all by the painter. I showed up and stopped him in the middle of orbital buffing to snap some pictures. This will not be present in the final assembly of the car, I will promise you that. I walked around the car with a microfiber towel and the white powdery wax wiped right off with no effort. I also noticed that the lense of my digital camera was dirty and spotted which is the reason some of the pictures have spots on them.
