SNEAK PREVIEW - Mound's new paint.
Finally painted last thursday....they missed prepping the header panel and missed some door jambs so they've still got some work to do...this has been 8 weeks now. I want it back.

Color looks to be lighter than the stock brown....

Right on.

Yeah maybe it's the clearcoat...maybe they fucked up the formula...I don't know, they said they pulled the code from the book..whatever that means. Too late to do anything about it now. Like I said the car has been in the shop 8 weeks, after an intial estimate of 3-4 weeks and I just want the damn car back!

It's just the lights, and the fact that it's shiny. I've seen people take pictures before and it look completley different...it looks great though.

Don't get me wrong it looks FANTASTIC! It does just seem a few shades lighter then stock brown.

Yeah, you've got to remember guys, we're used to seeing the 20 year old faded brown!

This is what it should have looked like off the floor!

I don't think I ever seen a shiny brown in my life. They're all faded by now. Looks good. Keep it original. Make sure to post pics when you're done.
