Here's a few shots of it back on the ground. I need to get someone with a better camera to come out as this one doen't pick up bright colors well.

Unless the camera is changing the color, that came out a LOT different (better) than I thought it would.

As far as cutting in the car, what all did you paint before putting the car together for the final spray? How do you deal with the part of the quarter panel covered by the door? Do you cut that in first then foam tape it? Or do you have a line to sand out?

With a kandy you have to paint the car put together, or nothing will match. So that means dismantling the car, paining the edges of everything, and then re-assembling it. I used tape wth paper in some parts, and foam in others. Painting everything in pieces like you did yours is the way to go, but it's not an option with colors like this.

^ I know, but I'm just curious how you dealt with the part of the quarter panel that is hidden by the door. I'm assuming you cut it in then installed the quarter?
