The waiting is killing me, another week or so...
The new bumper fits 99.9% perfect....a little adjustment and it should be perfect. He said he shaved the hood alittle and the fit is good too.

Nice! How long has it taken so far? And be sure to replace those old headlights with new ones! It REALLY maskes a difference!!!

No idea if thats even primer....hes had the car a little less then 3 weeks. He was starting to clean up when I got there to snap a few shots. I think he said he was gonna spray in a couple days, let it sit a day, then 2-3 days to wetsand/buff.

Looking good, but you haven't even began to be anxious yet! I had to wait 6 months for mine.. Originally posted by StealthElephant

Get some finished pics as soon as you can.

I'm repainting it gloss black, no metallic or anything.
I remember pictures from firebird 383 and his car was "mud yellow" for a while then it was grey. Anyone know off the top of their head the difference?

Mine has a sealer after the metal work, and then the primer.. Probably the difference.

Yes! Another one joins the BB Hood club. Great work. Can't wait to see the finished project. My car comes out of the paint shop maybe this Thursday. Trust me, I know what waiting is like.

PPG's k-200 looks like that, looks like his fill primer, and it's all wetsanded down...If that's the case, he's real close to paint.
Wonder why he didn't remove your ground effects before final prep??

The grounds effect and front bumper were off like 3 days ago when i was there before, he has to respray under the gfx.
No idea the method to his madness.
Whats he have left if that is his fill primer?

Looks like he's right there, all finish sand and tape before seal and paint. (unless he's got some trouble spots he wants to work.)
