Milestone!

So, for the month of Apri, there wasn't a whole lotta exciting stuff. Got around to blocking out the rest of the car, cleaned everything up, and this past weekend, was finally able to lay color to the door/hood/trunk jambs. Everything was all masked up, and the sealer was 1st applied. Decided to paint underneath the trunk lid as well...the inside of the trunk will have bedliner.

All masked up and sealer laid out.

Finally the base went on...after that tacked up..pearl was sprayed.

Finally finished off with a couple good coats of clear.

Tried to take pictures of it out in the sun, but you really can't tell the color in the pix. It's an 2008 Lexus GS400 Color, Opaline Pearl, sort of an offwhite base with blue/red pearls in it. Some lights it looks a little blue/white, and then in the direct sunlight it's got a pretty cool pearl effect going.

So this week, the rest of the car will be painted, hopefully by Sunday, all will be painted and cleared. Ordered up my weatherstripping from Scotts Old Rubber in OZ, also ordered the light gaskets from mk1-cortina.com, also in OZ. Window trim is out to the chromers so that should be coming back in a few weeks.

Getting that much closer!
