Looks good. What color (final coat) is the tranny? It looks like a pewter to my monitor; regardless, NICE.

Its Alsa Corp Chrome paint. I prefer to call it polished aluminum. The Engine, Trans and scatter shield will be painted with it.
Heres a link to some previous preparation. http://www.makovette.net/new4_20_07.html

With the risk of people suggesting this should be in the paint forum,
I will ask:

What materials are you using for primer and/or sealer ?

Mine is mostly sanded with old sealer still present but much bare fiberglass.
I need to select a good epoxy primer to start.
