Hey, sorry you're not feeling so hot and I hope you get better. I just thought maybe you were driving around already finished and forgot about us. 
I totally get waiting to get a deal. I'd do the same. Looking forward to the result.

goes to show what happens if you dont think something threw!
hey, if its done by july, i'll be throwing a 4 of july bbq at the house. feel free to stop by!!!!!
yeah... i actualy like it too but unfotunatly driving around with primer is no no, primer absorbs everything and everything sticks to it.. not so good for painting =X hence why i have to sand it again before i paint it.

Red? is that part of the under coat or did you change your color choice?
(I read most of the thread.....might have missed something)
looks good either way.

i chose the color of my scion instead. its a pearl red with blue red and white pearl in it. very deep color. cell phone shows it as deep red in one pic but kind of orange in next. no its really really read
i'll get pix up today. i'm on my way back to shop now

there are some lil flaws here and there but nothing extreamly noticable. the car would have taken an expert to get it to be perfect. concidering how much it went threw and how many layers of spray paint it had on it. i think it turned out damn good.
i'll post pictures. i just got home and i am exhausted.

no way. i couldnt have picked a better color. it looks simply amazing in person. it completely accents the fenders and body lines perfectly with the pearl and metalic in the paint too... and its dark base coat really brings the paint to a different level then the paint on my XD

so its out of the booth. all other parts are painted, painted some lil items with black paint
rear spoiler most likely wont be going back on for a while.
black door jams look fricken sweet. contrast, and its something different that i havent sseen before
rx7 is slightly darker and has more depth then the scion, we used a dark gray sealer that made the color of the red that much nicer. o and i finaly got a windshield wiper for the back. and painted the arm

no matter what anyone says about it as long as you are happy with the color....F the haters.
By the way.. I think it looks good.
+1 to the list of people waiting to see it finished.
