The rear clip and side scoops are now sanded and ready for paint tomorrow. I want to get those parts re-installed on the car Friday night. I have to do sme side work Friday. When I get home from that, I will install them.
Once those parts are back on the car, all that is left is the decklid (top and underside), rear spoiler and rear bumper. I hope to have the car completed in 2 more weeks.[This message has been edited by JimmyS (edited 07-30-2009).]

I know that I have commented in approval before, but the quality of your work is just phenominal.  I watched as you painted your wifes (girlfriend's? sorry, don't remember  ) car. I really like the colors that you have chosen for both the Fieros. Can't wait to see the finished finish!

Thank you very much. The pics really don't do this Blue justice. It is absolutely stunning in person.
I am using Du-Pont NASON 2K Urethane Primer and Du-Pont NASON Urethane Ful-Base Basecoat Clearcoat paints and clear.

I hope to be done spraying paint and have the car completely back together in 2 weeks. I will still have to do the sanding of the clearcoat and buffing but I can do that at my leisure.
I didn't work on the car at all yesterday. After I got home, I fell assleep on the couch and when I woke up, I just didn't want to do anything.
As of right now, I have the rear clip back on and the whole passenger side re-assembled.
It's all in the details...
Well I'm going back to it and try to get the drivers side re-assembled.
Thanks again for all the nice comments.
Jim

Your car really looks great
Where did you get your paint from? Did you buy locally or online and if you do not mind me asking much did you buy and how much did it cost you?
THanks, TIm[This message has been edited by BMTFIERO (edited 07-13-2009).]

I bought the paint locally from a place called Finish Masters. 3qts of the Blue. I bought a gallon of the black but it was for 2 cars (mine and my girlfriends). 1qt of Silver. 3 qts of Raspberry (girlfriends car). 1 qt of horizon grey (girlfriends car). I bought a gallon of clear but it was also for both cars. Total for both cars with masking tape, fine line tape, paper, laquer thinner, sand papers ( 2 rolls of 320, 2 rolls of 120, 1 roll of 400, 1 roll of 600) , plastic, respirator, and all the reducers and activators came to right around $1,000.00.
I can only guestimate the cost of materials for just my car but I would say it would be around $350.00 - $400.00.
