Im NOT knocking your car, its gonna look great, just pointing this stuff out in-case you haven't seen it or didn't catch it.
I pulled every rubber that could, and pulled the weatherstripping all along the door up to the t-top and in front up to the dash. It hides that red line along the interior now that its back down. There is that one spot still in the corner and ****, but with the plastics and rubbers back in place, it's not really anything that anybody besides me would know about. I do have about a quart of sprayable paint leftover just in case I need to do any touchups on it.

No sir. It is Sonic Blue (Shermin Williams ultra 7000)

I think that should just about cover it... Oh yeah, $100 for some motion activated wireless security cameras for the driveway

I got a new alarm with a pager on the remote, and 4 motion activated wireless security cams. I think it was punk *** kids that did it... but I really dont know. Probably somebody that doesnt like getting up @ 7 am when I leave the house I wish I had caught em.... Probably good that I didnt though, I couldnt work on the car from jail!

I based it with a Sata Jet 3000 RP, and I cleared with an Inest Iwata w400. The clear that I used is called Beta Clear. It's a european clear coat that I have to buy from a dude who brings it to you in a pickup truck (no joke). Instead of directions and info on the side of the can like every other paint ever, it's pictures! I will snap a pic of the can tomorrow
