    Your seat looks fantastic. I've always been intrigued by upolsterers, and how they get those seams just right. Your wife's talented.

    As you are - your car will look great when it all comes together.

    I guess you're right about the extra paint layers.
    Just wouldn't look right with some stars under and some over the blue.

    Rock on dude - you're actually doing it - I'm just arm-chairing!!!!!!

    I have ZERO talent when it comes to this stuff. All I did with the paint was buy it, help sand it, and help tape off the flames once they were laid out on the car.

    My wife's family runs a shop and she worked part-time as a teenager doing seats. She is now a Nurse, but by the way the seats turned out she still has talent. After she gets finished with mine she is going to redo her Mustang I bought her a couple of weeks ago.

    One thing is for sure I have a new respect for you guys that paint for numerous reasons. It's time consuming, expensive, and takes tons of talent. I helped sand on the car in different stages, and I also helped mask off the flames once they were laid out, and it really takes time and patience. I now fully understand why it costs what is does to get a car painted. Just my supplies alone costed over $1,500
