Sneak peek into the restoration. The 304 color looks good with the dark grey sealer. This is PPG mixed color 304. Can’t wait to see after cut and polish. Gonna go see it in person in December!

Awesome, that's looking great! Wait until you pull it out into the sun - you'll be astounded.

@cgsheen1 I really like the way your paint has a depth to it, something that my resprayed sections are lacking.

I'm not cgsheen but I'm pretty sure the depth comes from the clear coat.  Gives it that wet look.

sure

Mostly, but with most metallics and pearls it's the entire package - sealer, base (mid coats), and clear. Usually the only coat that you can't see through is the sealer. (Don't believe? Seal a panel with a dark sealer, paint another panel with a light sealer, spray the base coat exactly the same on both panels, spray clear coat exactly the same on both panels. Then look. Under certain colors dark sealer really adds depth or character to the tone of the paint because of the contrast that it adds.)

I'm not a painter - but I work with one.

My son painted mine also. He sent another sneak peek pic of it in the sun. Love it!

Final outcome! Love it!

Gorgeous!

That looks great! It's good to have another Goldie!

If you're ever in Phoenix let's get together and see how the PPG base compares to the Sherwin base 🤪...  Got A/C, it's 100 here...

That paint looks great, should get my car painted… looks well worth.

HVAC allows folks to live in the damndest places. Never been there but the one's that have tell me I've got it worse with the humidity here.

I had a tshirt from the French quarter, "it's not the heat-it's the stupidity".

@Jeff G 78 kinda sorta looks like you are thinking?
