It is Black, but that is it just out of the paint booth. I'm still waiting for the right fender and the headlight bezels to be painted. once those are on and the car is buffed and waxed i will take more pictures with a real camera and not my phone.

The guy in the pictures is actually my dad, and yes his is an automotive painter(30yrs now!). I was just there to help and do as I was instructed. As for all you wishing I had taken it all apart, you have to admit for a full repaint and new weather strip for roughly $1000, it looks damn nice
