Alost Ready For paint

I've been doing the body work on my 84 Z for sometime now, I finally got it in primer so I figured it was time for some pics. I also painted my hood louvers but thats for another time...

I still have to final sand the entire car before I can put any color to it, and then I still have to finish refinishing the rims, but after that it's just little stuff.

Gonna use a Mazda color Paint code 28W, Black Cherry Mica used on the CX-& and Mazdaspeed 6, Also called Radiant Ebony but that just sounds dirty... Thanks for the kind words, we used the same technique used on Musclecar, the shelf liner with the candy sprayed through it. We used a candy Yellow with some pearl gold and Rootbeer Pearl.
