Thanks guys for the compliments. It was a huge relief when I shot the last coat of clear that day. I'm still as anxious to work on it, but not worried because I got all of that done just in time for the weather to cool off here.

cornerstone - spraying your own project is pretty rewarding. I don't know what kind of equipment you already have, but it does take some upfront investment. I've never had to deal with "paint jail", but it sounds awful from some of the stories I've heard. Doing your own bodywork and spraying is an awesome learning experience and it'll save you big time compared to sending it somewhere. You'll make mistakes, but you'll get better every time. If you're really interested in doing it yourself, I would recommend getting on the SPI forum and start reading. Great products at a great price and the best customer support.
