Yes the quarters were off the car, and the edges painted, then installed and the exterior painted together

^ Thanks... you do great work. I'd love to learn to paint, but didn't want to use my car as my learning canvas

Were you the guy who painted the BPP hood on Dan's first C6Z? The silver one?

Yeah that was me. I remember now, we were on the fence about blending it or not. A light color of silver is not likely to match, requiring blending of the fenders and bumper. But then the factory hood's color would be off should he want to put it back to stock.

I guess too many people don't read... he specifically stated the car was going to be for his wife. My GF wants a light pink pearl C5 vert... I think it'd look awesome.
