Daytona Coupe progress

Made myself some door panels today. Covered in CF vinyl.

Yeah Josh I agree with the other guys, no two are the same and imperfections in the car will add character. With those wheels white and all that nice 3M vinyl done, its really "taking shape"!
 
Block sanding the entire car with 220 grit right now, prepping for primer in the next week or so. Car is pretty much stripped back down to nothing
 
Got it blocked down yesterday evening.The hood is smooth as a baby's butt. Getting ready for 2k primer and guide coat. Picked up my paint today, Belize Blue pearl is beautiful in the can, hope it looks as good on the car.
 
Got two coats of 2k primer on today, showed a few more pinholes, filling them in the morning, guidecoating and blocking then it should be ready for sealer then paint.
 
He says the fiberglass feels and looks as good as any fiberglass he's seen. Said I did a good job shooting the primer, only got it too heavy in one spot.
 
Got most of my guide coat sanded down today, what a PITA. Touch the paper to the primer/guidecoat and its clogged. One more coat of primer and wet sand, epoxy sealer then its in the booth for this....
