Satin Black Paint Completed

Well, I finally got around to finishing the project outlined here:
http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=45535

The last update there had the majority of the body painted, leaving the hood, front bumper, trunk lid, door handles, and mirrors to be re-painted after my failure of a 1st attempt. I also had alot of junk settle onto the sunroof after I sprayed it, so I wet sanded out the junk and re-clear coated.

I got the rest of the parts sprayed and I gotta say I'm happy with how it turned out...







I have a list of about 8 flaws that I've noticed, only 2 or 3 of which other people have noticed, so that's good. It'd be better if I had a list of 0 flaws though I guess it gives me something to aim for on my next paint job.

I'll set up some proper pictures some time after the holiday.
