Today's updated pics, you can see where I had them fill the holes in the front that were drilled for the plate

looks awesome!!! +1 on What jo4roush said.

I'm getting ready to repaint my E9 Cobra in the next few weeks. Was thinking of going redfire as well or the factory Laser Red(2 stage formula)

Did they do all the jambs and the hood/trunk shuts? Just wondering if there wil be a color difference?

Thanks a lot. Really excited to see this car painted!

My daughter's car is a Mercury Cougar in 2 stage Laser Red, thought of that then went Redfire because I really wanted a metallic paint

Yes, all Jambs are being panted and are already done

fender and door

Are you going to line up the fender with the door? In your sig it looks flush, but in the picture it doesn't. Just wondering...

Looks awesome! To be honest though, I'm a little surprised they didn't disassemble the car more before they sprayed, such as removing the side skirts, bumpers, lights, and mirrors. Looks great though, wait til that thing is color sanded and buffed!!

Why would they need to completely disassemble? Not changing the color enough where the unexposed panels will matter and that would have just driven the cost up further

^ Looks superb! Thanks for answering the questions as well. Can't wait to see it with the wheels and stuff.. Would you mind taking some UP CLOSE pics of places like door edges/fenders wells/sideskirt gaps after its out of the shop? Just wondering what I should do before I re-spray as far as disassembly/assembly. Thanks A LOT in advance Joe!
