We had to mask the entire car, sand down the whole panel and reshoot. It's a perfect match though, you'd never know which panel it was even if I told you. We used the same paint (same match, same conditions) so I lucked out... if you want to look at it that way.

The clear run is no big deal. After the paint hardens for a month it'll color sand out. The car needs to be color sanded any how.

Before:


After colorsanding:

That looks really, really good. I may have to get you to paint my Cobra at some point

Really though, congratulations dude, it's awesome to see your paint project finished up and looking so good.

Looks good man! Not sure how I missed this post.

I hate those bumperettes.

I can't believe I did all this work. I'm pretty awesome. Glad I finished before school started.

You really did a fantastic job. You are an auto MacGyver.
