Thanks Bob, Hope to drive it before the snow flies again. But I honestly think it's going to be next year. I'm not going to do this much work to the car and then cream It Out by driving it on bad roads

There was definitely some footage taken today LOL. Not as much as I would like it's really hard to paint and record at the same time. There is some time lapse and I did get some close-up shots of mixing and some spray time. I was a little worried at first after I got it painted. It looked like dog poop. It didn't look very even and it wasn't as gold as I remember it being. But when I got home the sun was out in the lighting was a hell of a lot better and you could see it was sparkly from the end of my driveway which is a good hundred plus yards away!
