Last week, my 71 Dart was painted .. I was SUPER excited to see it wearing some new shiny paint... my hopes were dashed when I saw it and the paint was riddled with fisheyes... I was really bummed.

Today, it was repainted ... looks GREAT ... got 4 coats of color (single stage, OMNI).. he did a really good job laying the paint down on most areas, it will require minimal color sanding and buffing. This is not a "restoration quality" paint job.. I don't have the deep pockets of an E-body owner.. I'm paying this guy $1500 plus materials .. so I'm super happy with the results.. car is an original GY3 Dart (I've never seen another one) ... can't wait to start putting her back together!!!

She's got body-colored steel wheels, and will be getting a black vinyl top and black interior....

Should look great in the sun!!!
 
It's looks great already. A black strip on the back might look good to especially with the black vinyl top.
 
thanks... yeah, I'm definitely planning on the black butt stripe :) later down the road, might do a flat black hood treatment too.. we'll see.
 
Very nice... make sure to follow up with some pics when its all buttoned up.
I gotta live with oxidated B5 blue for another couple yrs... but this gets me fired up
 
Thanks guys... I'm really excited to see this stage of progress.. it's been a LONG time.. I was starting to wonder if I would ever see it in color! I gotta give some credit to my wife... she's been encouraging and supporting me every step of the way with the car :)
 
Nice......That yellow is going to look awesome with that combo.
Great time in a car build, let the fun begin !!!
