Default Time for some new paint

I've been wanting to paint my car for quite awhile now.So for all of last week my best friend and I got it ready to paint.I dropped it off last night at the shop and they started it this morning.when I went in today they were hand sanding it again(we'd already done that)and doing some finishing touches.I bought a cobra bumper and fogs plus an s281 spoiler.Here's how it looked when I dropped it off.I did remove all the lights and front bumper last night.

After it's painted there will be a lot of pink clam inside it on a regular basis.
That's something you've probably never seen Keith.Don't feed me that line about the 30 some year olds
looking at you like you're a piece of meat when you're at a club.LOL

The car is Rio Red and the hood is Lazer Red.I am not going with either one of them.I will post pics of it when it's done this week.I'll prob be puting it back together Friday evening or Saturday.I've never seen another sn with the exact paint scheme I chose.It should look really good when it's done.

I'm hoping you're getting OE tail lights.

Um, how did you guys sand the car? Just grab a couple DA sanders and go crazy? Hand sand with 80 grit? Or did you do it right and block sand? I can tell it wasn't that way. From the looks of the sanding job done on the hood, the painters will have their work cut out for them. Hopefully you guys didn't make it worse for them...

And +1 on the OE tail lights...
