Just glad to hear you got the paint shop motivated to get off their a** and actually start painting it.

Looks great and love the color but hard to tell from the small pics. Its too bad MFs reduces them so much on upload. Sorry but 373px × 280px is way to small. Best to use a site like Imageshack to host the images and link to them from here. I'll typically use the 'resize image' option when uploading and set it to 800x600. This makes a good viewing size and yet usually loads quick enough. If I'm only posting 1 image and for greater detail I'll use 1024x768 however thats getting pretty large for most people.

With 2 24" widescreen LCD screens here at 1920x1200 I have a real hard time seeing those small thumbnail images hosted here.

That said.. I'm so envious! My car has been painted for 2 weeks now and I still cant see it for another week!

looks like the pics are cell phone pics, that's why they're small.

paint looks sharp though! I look forward to seeing it with the black on it, that should look good! keep us updated

I usually dont like two tone paintjobs, but this one is different, and actually looks like it will come out cool. Unlike some other two tones Ive seen.

I saw this one at a show recently and I feel like the paintjob kills the good looks of the car:


If it was painted all that silver color, that would be sweet.
