Do my eyes deceive me, or is that extra glossy? Or is that just how well taken care of/fresh paint looks?
I certainly don't have that level of luster.
Looks like its going to be quite something Ed. I love how perfect the body flows into the flared fenders, top work man

What you see is the paint with the clear coat.
Still needs a whole lot of color sanding and final polishing !!!

The UV aging breaks the color down so it looks a bit translucent !!
Phoenix is many miles from me...missed the Starfest in Virginia which was only a few hours away..It'll be back nearer to the East Coast in the future !

Ahh, you're restoring the hematite trim Ed? How'd you manage that? Pull/replace or painting over?
I rather like the gold color it's oxidized to on my car, it fits with the Burgundy well.

Like Brett, I actually like the bronze ageing on my own car.
However, the black will look awesome against the red on your car.
What about the badges and chrome cladding trim on your car?
I was hoping to see it personally, but I live on the Left Coast - far from you.
I understand about distance, though. I tried to make it to Starfest in San Francisco, in 2008, but discovered my timing chain was "iffy" so I bailed. The trip was 1000 miles each way and, of course, I wanted to do track events too!
The next Starfest was down East, even further for me.
This year, I hoped to get my car to Phoenix, but there may not be enough time

Acting is going GREAT, thanks!! Just did a couple of tv shows last week, doing a commercial this week, can't complain. I work hard at it.
12hrs? What about from New York, how long of a drive is it? I will be there at some point visiting one of my college buds this summer.
I should hopefullly have my G500 by then!
