I'm hoping the doors will go back on early this week....I had new door pins installed while they were off because of slight sagging common to heavy GM doors......the gunmetal silver paint should look pretty sweet fron what I'm seeing ...I hope to snap a few new pics this week as well.....

How much are you paying for that paint job? from the pics you posted i see a few things that arent being done up to par at least how i was taught,first why are they only priming spots? That whole car needs to be primed and blocked at least 2 times probably 3 .Make sure they seal that thing up with nice epoxy sealer or something of equivalent. This will keep the moisture out as it is humid in the south!!!.What kind of paint are they spraying ? Did they do alot of mudwork? If so how long was the bondo exposed to the humidity of the south? That can cause major issues down the road.Sorry for the critiquing but I thought it my help ,I know if I had someone paint a rig for me I would take pics every step of the way.

I already bought the gunmetal silver...It should be finished this week...The car was originally a medium blue...then red...then a very bad yellow paint job....the gunmetal silver has a slight blue tint to reflect back to the original car color...

Hmm. It looks better, but it still leaves something to be desired. Should've painted the inner doors and the area around the T-top. The yellow sticks out like a sore thumb. I know it'll be covered with door panels and weather stripping, but still.

Has it been cleared and polished yet?

Still a little more to go on it....It needs some touching up.....and then cleared before it is through....
