Here is what I got so far.  Need to round up the misc parts... turn signal lights, Marker lights etc...













Dont think the Hood stencil is going to work out...probably paint the Black Bulge w/ a pinstripe outline (pinstripe painted).  Going to hold off on the stripes.

They are saying entire car painted by this Friday.

nice, love in-progress pics. That's how I'd paint a car, do jambs first and then paint whole car with body panels on the car. It's just a matter of personal preference.

I know it sucks waiting, and I can only imagine how anxious you are, but the more time spent block-sanding, the better.
Can't wait to see it!

Is it tomorrow yet???  Should be Purple Tuesday. Then the Black goes on, then the clear coat, this of course is after I go back to the Gulf of Mexico for three weeks...

I really like member Banana Wama's Paint scheme and plan on duplicating, here are some color changer pic of his (his is yellow, I changed it to Plum Crazy)

Here is how I am going to have the Bulge painted with repo Callouts (340 MAGNUM ) added.





Trunk rear like this as well (I have the Spoiler to).



Going to hold off on the rally Side graphics (Wife has issues with them for some reason...and it was her grandparents car so she has some say).

Next month...Rims/Tires  Torq Thrust D, Magnum, or Mopar Police Rally 42 Series wheels (Black) are in the running.  :scratchchin:

I can't wait to see it with the Gloss Blackout and pin stripe...

Hood is getting more paint, they said probably two more coats.  They were block sanding the rest of the car so the car was pretty dusty.  The painted parts were painted individually and bolted on.

Looks very good, I see they painted the inside of the front valance the proper color. Is this something they did on their own or did you have to direct them?

They did that on their own, I think that piece was still stock when they got it, so they probably just duplicated what they were given and substituted the Purple for the bronze that was on the old paint job.

I don't think so, I think about a week more total...they want the primer to cure on what they block sanded etc...Two days ago when I was there they said in about 7-10 days it would be complete (Black and clearcoat included).  I am on my drilling rig now in the Gulf of Mexico for three weeks so I cannot check on em...I may need my man in the field Mike to drop by the shop (he is less than 30 minutes from it...) for real time intelligence. The owner of the shop is computer challenged so, if its painted, he takes the pictures, then brings the camera home to his wife who then sends the pics...sometimes they are the right pics sometimes they are not LOL...
