A few pics of a CF hood from an 03' WRX.. It was brought to us completely hazed over greyish/white, here it is after hours of work with 3 coats of clear drying under the heat lamps. This complete effort took roughly 6.5 hours...

Pictures from Friday night thru Saturday morning.. That's Jeff in the 6th picture. The guy on the phone in the 7th picture is Rafael, friend/one of the best body guys I've seen around. The splotches you see on the last two pics is actually on the glass of the paint booth, not the car.

Here's pics of a 1957 T-Bird we just got in today for a complete repaint. The color will be Suby SWP FTW! We are going to mod the paint slightly. We will be using blue flake rather than gold flake. Start of the teardown.. Pics will be posted everyday throughout the process ..
