ON My wifes nemesis got some new paint

Thought i would share some pics of my cars new paint job.
I apologize if the pics are big.

First are a few pics of the car being worked on




A couple of the high build primer that was applied





The car all ready for paint after it was block sanded



A couple of pics of the first coat of paint, which is mix of blue and black.





Now for the Base coat

The rest of the pics are of the car straight out of the booth, the car has not even been buffed or polished yet. I think she looks amazing.










I will put up some finished pics this weekend, she is going to be wet sanded, buffed, polished and reassembled this week.

Very nice, I really like the colour. My brother painted one of his rx7s Viper Blue, it looks very similar. You should post a before pic.

Your wife's nemesis looks great, my wife is away saying I pay more attention (time&money) to my cars than I do to her so your not alone with that sentiment.

Thanks guys. I went today to get an update, I almost s--t myself. My whole car was completely sanded. My first thought was that something terrible went wrong. Only to realize that they sanded the clear coat with 1000 grit to rid the finish on any blemishes. From there they are going to move up to 1500, then 2000 and finishing with 3000. Then they are gonna polish the whole car.
