Default It's painted finally

Finally finished painting the gto. Took about 3 weeks to get everything sprayed separate. Finally got the shell done. Just have to sand some dust out and a spot I bumped into on the quarter panel trying to paint the sail panel.
I am very happy with the body work. Especially the fiberglass parts. I replaced the quarter panels with skins. I kind of regretting the white. Really doesn't show all my block sanding work like black or a dark color would.
Now to start putting back together. Still need to do body work and paint the fiberglass bumpers.

learned another lesson. I was wearing a Tyvek suit with a hood. Last 2 coats forgot to put the hood up. Guess who has white hair? I should say whiter hair.

Really nice job! You should be proud of it. If you spray again, get a spray sock for your head, a lot better than the tyvek hood.
