Very nice job. Your rig is now officially a "BABE MAGNET". Real quality work by all involved. Shake their hands for me.

I am am many years past being a magnet for "BABES" except for the fact that I have 5 daughters:stupid:

The stripping and paintprep work is being done by my brothers sister in law Tammy who is a licensed body mechanic and has a real eye for details.

I will have to be careful in choosing words on this forum:ermm:

Almost ready for the paint booth.

Spent a lot of time making sure all the lines are right.

Very Nice, especially the shots of the Quarter Panel. Can't wait to see more!

Colour is on the inside of hatch and door frames.

Put the doors and hatch back on for final sanding and paint.

In Ontario body shops are mandated to use water born paint.

It is the law:stupid:

My brother spent a lot of money to replace his paint system because of this.

It was difficult to find 901 silver in the new water born setup.

The furniture industry has not been forced to stop using solvent based paints.

901 silver is easily found using the old solvent based paints.

Hence we called my Z a dining room table and ordered the old solvent based paint in base coat-clear coat automotive paint at Carquest.LOL

The water born paint does work alright(i did read about it on another thread) but we are real happy to use the old solvent based paint in this case.

This a picture with doors fitted and hatch fitted also the making sure the front and rear spoiler fit properly before painting them separately.

One more time block and sand(a lot of work)

Looking very nice. To steal a quote from one of the Indian Jones movies, "And I even like the color".

I'm partial to silver on Z's. Really shows the lines of the car.
