Back To The PAINT SHOP!
Well the three tone Vette (Silver-1) (Silver-2) & (Black) went into the paint shop today to have the paint blended.
Chris, my body & paint guy, is also going to reset the two spots (seen in the top photo in front of the wheel) where the Tiger Shark front fascia doesn't quite line up with the fenders) for me.
This little adventure is going to cost me about $300. Let that be a lesson to me (and you) to not try to cut corners and save a buck when having body and paint work done.
Soon we will be two tone again...

Sweet, at least its getting done right now. It looks good it will look better when you get it back.
I understand your woes....my car went back to the paint shop as well to fix a few things. When you do custom stuff you have to kinda expect it.
So, with all these extra dollars, I assume your wife found out...LOL

Glad to see you're getting it repaired. Unfortunately you won't be able to have the front cover match the hood unless you blend it and therefore replace the stripes.
If you are planning on replacing the stripes, you may want to order them first.
Good luck...
