just so you know that primer is called SLICK sand and its a very good high build fast cure time primer for panels the look like the got hit by a sack of golf *****. This car was alot of hours to straighten out the 1/4's and hood to make this thing come out the way it did. as well as a completely taking the car apart so it looks factory!

I think it would have been a great stock color for the car. the only problem is i think they would have had to add a price mark up on the car for it. the gal of just base coat was over $950 my sunset metallic was only $425 a gal

Looks good. You should do the wire mod and smooth the humps in the engine bay that way you can spray them at the same time...just mentioning it because I think you will regret it later if you don't.
