Looks beautiful! Out of curiosity, have you ever done a car in autumn orange metallic? One of my favorite SN colors

Thanks and yes...I’ve painted it a few times. Nice color. Hard to get it right tho.

Too bad it requires a 15K paint job to make you appreciate them (or am I too low?)

How do you clean the pieces after sanding between coats?

Wax and grease remover is what I use to clean before, during and after sanding

Glass in and keep getting more detailed pieces on

I like the black sections on the underside of the bumper.. Do you have any photos of your fix to keep the bumpers from sagging?

Where do you buy that cf cowl? Mines broken and can’t justify spending $150 for stock plastic. Would be a nice upgrade if not much more
