I see this car on a regular basis it seems right by UCF, i was driving alongside it today down University.
Looks great, the paint really stands out, you did an excellent job. My wife wants a car in this color
Almost makes me cringe to see this thing near UCF though with the amount of work you put into it. Whenever I took out my M3 I avoided that area like the plague for fear of some idiot careening into me, probably an accident around there every other day.

I love it. I also love the painted/color matched lips on cars. If you were to black out the spokes and anodize the lips to match, it would be insane! That was the first thing i thought when i saw the original thread you started before this one. Didnt think youd consider it with such an expensive rim. But i'd do it and i hope you do and when you do, make sure you post pictures right away! Wish you werent so far away id hire you to paint my car!

Here is a picture of it at the SCC Car Show and Whistler lives in the Orlando Area so you will see her driving it around and maybe him sometime when he feel like being pink

So you are the huge guy showing up to the party in a pink t-shirt now. Except no one mouth's off too much when it looks that good. Something tells me if you offer that primer color that you used, people might order that as the color of their next project. Just a thought.

I would love to be able to paint like that. It makes me want to take classes outside my career.
Paint and body is this mysterious area that I have not learned too much in, despite all of the mechanical learning over the years from the forums.

Pink Vette I was at Whistlers shop when he painted this car pink in fact I R&R the back glass and put a new Windshield in it. A few months back I told him I was looking for a C5 and he said "paint the pink one" which had been sitting in his driveway for a while with a broken clutch. Well the old Pink Vette had some body damage and needed paint and being that it was Candy couldn't be touched up she's now Carbon Flash/Black Ice and is powered buy an LS3 with LS7 Clutch and 2001 Z06 Transaxle and interior. I'll post some pix soon.
