Good lookin' job. Be sure to post some overall shots when it's back together. ....please!

Steve, the car looks awesome!!! Glad you went with the green stripes?? Thats one of my favorites (color), especially trying to convince the customer it will look good!! I'm kinda surprised Dennis let you stay in the booth with him... That would have COST you at my place... I HATE having customers watching over my shoulder. Not sounding "mean" but as you mentioned on one pic, you started to get nervous..." THAT is the part that I hate to deal with, customers not understanding the "steps" to get to the finished product. I KNOW whats going on, let me work!! If you wouldn't mind, either public or pm, what is the "neighborhood" of what he charged for that job? I have an idea where I'd be, and I'd like to know how far too cheap I really am!! Being in the business and trying to do "everything" myself, (the prep, paint, striping) I cannot imagaine striping over those louvers! Never striped over them... Car looks great, hope you enjoy the heck out of it!! Donny

I PM'd you the ballpark price. If I put it here, my wife might see it!
The 4 louvered panels took more time than the rest of the car. He didn't want to do it any other way & right now- the louvers are my favorite part. They almost look 3 dementional!

As far as me in the booth- I had a mask, but exited when he shot clear. He actually wanted me in there to make sure I liked it.

The green stripe- man, when Dennis suggested it- I thought he was insane. I wanted an off white or traditional blue. He kept leaning green. Glad I listened!
