I really like that blue , I might of gone with a little bigger flake (just Me) but I do like it , I want your hood too, where did you get it,
My son is going to love me having to repaint it with the 3 stage pearl to match the rest of the car, but that's what you get when you own your own shop :), Cant wait to see it when shes all done

Nice color is it the factory color?


Not exactly it is based off a early 90 Saturn color with some tweaking. The brand of paint is 4th dimension by Sherwin Williams. Ray D.Williams Jr of the Medford Ma store mixed the paint.

Three stage paint is a b*st*rd. The shop that painted my Audi a few Times know it and dislike it. It is a Pearl white. The cutlass is just 2 stage. My good friend who is actually spraying the car won't do 3 stage paint. Some fake was added I didn't want to much.

It been a long process I also can't wait to see her in the sunlight

Unfortunately I do not know who makes the Hood it was on the car when I bought it. Don't know what makes it so different from other cowl hoods.

finished all jam work reinstalled and aligned doors hood fenders and trunk. in the process of masking everything off. also using foam masking tape for seamless blending into jams. just needs final sanding then paint time..... just have to spend a day or two really cleaning the garage before paint. lots of dust and clutter.
