Wow it looks pretty straight 8) . Did you manage to see how they covered the door and trunk spaces so well?

It looks like they started with a piece masking attached to the inside of the area to be taped. Then they attached the material to cover the opening to the tape. Then they placed a piece of tape on the outside over the material and meeting up with and covering the inside piece of tape.

Inching closer to the paint room (straight ahead!). The primer is getting wet sanded and ready for paint.

Made it to the inside of the paint booth. The Pack White color is starting to get cut in. Here's some pics taken from outside of the paint booth.

That looks great Bob. Mine wasnt anything like as big a project and my paint budget was very very low. Whilst mine might look ok, its a cheap job. Your's looks top draw 8)

Thanks for the kind words ... I'm blown away at how good the cut in looks. :shock: I can't wait to see the whole car sprayed. Here's some more pics of the cut in. :D
