That pearl looks amazing Shaun! When the time comes to repaint my car Im throwing around the idea of either a pearl or flake. I really like the CSTV Black Diamond... deep black with a hell of a flake in it. But I've been told my multiple shops that flake is a pain to lay, and can be difficult to get a uniform look across the car. Either way, the car will stay black. We'll see, thats not in the near future anyways...
So how long till you think you'll be bagged? Are another set of new wheels in order for bags?

Yea brad pearl is tough to shoot evenly, you have to constantly mix the paint in your gun or the flake will settle in the bottom.
My ultimate goal is to have the car bagged by early May or before. I want it done for SOWO in Helen Georgia. It's a huge euro show but I'm gonna go down and hang out for the weekend with my boys. They are mostly vw/audi guys. I'd like to break some stereotypes and some necks while I'm there haha
Wow, that paint is beautiful. Nice work! There aren't too many Probes running the stanced/poked look, so go and represent with the euro guys. Just be ready for a lot of hating, probably.
Love the progress, I wrecked mine this winter 1996 SE and that is what I am doing. Bought a shell with brand new tires and non running engine/tranny? for 300 dollars.
