Hey guys, sorry about that mishap. After I posted pics, I noticed they werent in the right album and moved them not thinking about the URLs getting messed up.

But I fixed them all and put them back in order with some descriptions

Re: Need opinions on white paint

Front and rear window glass doesnt have to come out. The only windows that are recommended to take out are the quarter glasses because they are more prone to leaving a hard line.

Front and rear we use this special blue 3M tape that has one hard edge on it which is about 1/4" thick and you put that down under the moldings and weather strips and it pulls them back so paint can be sprayed underneath them. When everything is done, untape it and the moldings/weather strips fall back to place and no hard lines are ever seen.

You dont need to pull any other windows to paint the body that surrounds them. All you need is special weather strip/molding tape that pulls all that back so when they spray, the paint lays underneath them. That would just be a waste of money IMO.

Thanks man, and yea. So far this has definitely been the best perk of the job along with seeing sick Hondas all day every day

Need to see some pics in sunlight or at night with ambient light...that last pic that shows the paint doesn't do it much justice imo. I want to be drooling on myself.

Yea I know I know! I really cant wait to get it out in the sunlight. I took it out the other day when we were finishing up the bumpers and moldings but there was a snow storm right above us making everything real dark so it looked the same as inside.

Once the car is together and cleaned up ill be snapping sme pics out in the sunlight.
