Re: My SVX's New Paint Job (pics inside!)
Beautiful Car and Fabulous paint. You get to be the "Queen of the Prom" at Reading.
Like those wheels a lot on the pearlie. But what I love most is the lack of a spoiler. I thought it always looked a lot sleeker that way Reminds me of my first one. See you very soon... BTW, how about some engine compartment photos after all the sanding,masking, spraying, etc. has taken its toll.

Re: My SVX's New Paint Job (pics inside!)
VERY Nice!!!
Had an opportunity to buy a pearlie when new. Didn't like the colour then & bought a dark teal, but now it has really grown on me. |

Re: My SVX's New Paint Job (pics inside!)
Afraid to look? I don't get it? To painters normally spray everything all over without a care?

No, I just figure it's very dusty from him sanding the car.

Re: My SVX's New Paint Job (pics inside!)
I think in the long run, you should be happy with the Dark Teal. The pearlies fade so badly. My paint guy said that it is because paints and clear coats weren't as advanced back in the early 90s. Mine had really turned an unattractive yellowish color, especially on the plastic pieces.
