Re: Paint Progress
I shaved the wiper nozzles because I don't like them, and I haven't had reservoirs for them to spray from in years. It's never an issue here in Florida.s1zzl3 wrote:i didnt shave the nozzles tho.. y did u do that?

For the color the paint guy is working up a custom color. Nothing wild, just a solid color a little darker than it used to be.
I like your idea of the blue metallic with silver wheels. That will look really nice. I thought about going blue, but the car's nickname kinda dictated my color options.
