Haha.  Thanks.  Just seems like there is way more interaction over on Instagram.  I can't quite get into Facebook.  And quite often unfortunately it seems like I'm posting to myself here.  But I will continue to update here for sure!

Reflection pic looks amazing!  :clapping:

Thanks!  It's been a full year since I hauled it away to be media blasted.  Not too bad I guess.  It's only been polished.  Apparently when I wax is when it will really have some shine to it.   :banana:

Looks sweet, at first, I thought it was black, but in the sun ? What is it, dark green ?

Wow man, the paint looks awesome.  I like the home made paint booth too.   Looks like you have a lot of space in that shop.  Cool.

It's a GM color  :o from around 2014 - 2017  they used on a few select vehicles.  Regal Peacock Green is the color.  I've always loved a real dark green color.  This is pretty much black until the sun hits it.

Yeah.  Shop is 32x60, but it does get a little filled up in here with my car blown apart and other vehicles in and out all the time for repairs.  Paint booth will be coming down in the next few weeks, so that should open up over a 1/4 of my shop!

I have one of those countdown apps on my phone and I'm legit shooting for June 15th 2023.  I'm down in the shop now!  :wrenching:

I was at the Vernon Car show in July.   Were you there???

Beautiful work there.
Solid color choice for sure.
Also stealing your paint booth idea.

Thanks! I will keep up with the updates! I'm currently learning to polish the scratches out of my original glass.  Kinda fun.
