Very nice, very nice. What are you using to reattach the trim to the car?

Did you take her all the way down to the steel or just abrade the previous paint and prime over that?

I can't wait to see the pics. I'm a bit... bewildered by the different colors of paint being used. So I can't wait to see the finished product.

I guess we'll take your word for it on the pearl.
It looks really nice though. Get some offset shots so we can see.
