Off to Paint

Dropped the Biscayne off at the paint shop this morning.....finally!
Hopefully, all the hours of blocking are about to pay off. It should be ready to pick-up by tomorrow afternoon.

I bet the paint shop loves getting them in like that. All the hard work is done.

Wanna come help me with my 63? I'm cutting the rest of the quarter off and it's killing me seeing my car like this.

if you did all the blocking and primming , why didnt you go ahead and spray it ?
to me there is nothing like telling someone thats asking about the car
i did all the work my self
just asking it looks straight as can be

Yeah, I understand your thinking.....but....
Three main reasons I decided to hire out the exterior painting:

1.) Facility....My two car garage worked OK for the bodywork and small paint work
but I didn't want to tackle the outside without proper ventilation and an adequate sized compressor.

2.) The upper section is being painted a very light color (champagne) with heavy pearl-metallic.
After all the effort I have put into the car I didn't want to risk streaks in the paint.

3.) I am getting a heck of a deal on having it painted by a highly reputable painter.
