___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (Updated 06/04/07) More wet sanding and buffing still needs to be done yet. The sanding and buffing made the pearl and depth visual really stand out more! It's coming out really well. A few pieces still remain for painting such as side mirrors, fender flares, and spoiler pieces.
(Updated 09/06/06) Other parts such as the front valance, wheel and rear spoilers still need to be painted. Wet sanding and buffing to follow.
____________________________________________________________________________________________ Ming Blue or Deep Blue Metallic (both are the same GM color, 25U, WA#722J) is the color of the Bird. Pictures do not do the paint job justice!
A lot of work (huge thanks to my parents!)... and I mean, A LOT OF WORK has been put into the body work of this car. Once the individual panels were sanded, they were fitted on the car to have the jambs blocked through. How many cars do you see in big-time magazines had that done? Here is a close-up of a quarter panel. Notice the details of the shop and trees that are next to it. The clear coat hasn't even been wet sanded and buffed yet!
For the parts located under the hood, the etch prime was scuffed and painted with a 75% satin/25% gloss black.
Freshly sand blasted brackets or exposed panel backsides were etch primed to stop further corrosion.
