Default Body and Paint work on my '00 GT

I had another thread asking for opinions and pics of two toned new edge bodies to see what I wanted to do with my '00 GT. After seeing some pics, and experimenting with some colors (I work in the body shop at a local Ford dealership), I decided to go with Ford paint code L6, which is Kona Blue ('10 and up Mustang) on the whole car, no two tone. I've been doing some body work and getting panels into primer, and I'm hoping to have the bodywork wrapped up in the next few weeks, then paint it. I bought this car a little over a month ago, the body was a basket case, but the enigine and tranny only have about 50k on a full rebuild.
Here are some before, during, and after pics of what's been done so far, as well as a pic of the radio and shifter bezel painted to match.

I was gonna 1up all the guys on the "cheesiness" of painting interior plastic, but this looks very clean and professional. Looking forward to the final result on this car.
