The repaint is on schedule and almost done. The paint was laid down over this past weekend. He laid it on pretty damn thick. Very cool.
The blue pearl is subtle. If you're not looking at the car in sunlight, it's barely visible, just adds the slightest hint of an alternate color. Look at it in the sun and it really pops in a good way.
Lots and lots of wet sanding to be done this week, but should be back for the weekend so I can think about getting the Supercharger install done next week!

PS - We shaved the rear Mercury Emblem off and filled the hole, but unfortunately, the ABS plastic spoiler doesn't lend itself to blending permanently with the body. Since the plastic is so thin, we're afraid of expansion/contracting with varying temperatures causing the paint over the joint to crack, so we opted not to do it...
