the intercooler is most certainly not straight in the front either. Sick car though, just not a fan of white.

good for you, only thing I would add is in the future lay out the money for better paint that all.

I know you used DuPont, I love DuPont, but the Nason line is very budget, mostly used on trailers and things like that. Spend the extra dollars so a few years down the road the paint job holds up. same goes for primers, a paint job is only as good as its primer and its main bond, so if that white paint that was flaking off underneath decides to start again, your white paint will fly off with the primer and paint you applied on top of it going along for the ride.
I hear you, I did a decent amount of research on the paint. The Nason line is not top of the line, but it looks perfect, and will last many .. many years down the road. This is a summer only car, always garaged I drive it less than 4k miles a year, I regularly wax and tend to all my vehicles. My delema was a 36 gallon 9 CFM compressor, garage paint shop with drop cloths, and my first time EVER painting anything, my only education on this was books and web pages, I had no one showing me what or how to do it. I was not about to spend $1200+ a gallon for high quality dupont paint knowing nothing about how it would turn out. My next paint job I just might knowing what I know now...


Also, the Nason line was recomended as a very fast drying, and easy to apply paint for a first timer, a BC/CC would have been much more difficult and tied up my garage alot longer than I could have handled.
