Thanks man I've always been a fan of the aquamarine pearl AMP as it's called colour.which is why I choose to go stock if you know the colour well you will know thats theres some form of glitter in there it's just not very visible from far. Also it's supposed to look a bit bluish in different lighting. Also with the wheels im leaning towards keeping it a is with a nice clean

i wasnt gobsmacked by the colour but still happy with it, but i only got to see it in the fading daylight in the evening, the panel shop guy assured me its much better in sunlight.. fingers crossed.
the paint has some small dot like things on it which i was told is normal and will eb gone when its wetsanded aftter the paint is fully cured and hardened properly.....

im hoping thats the case, but all the parts that got taken out (bumpers, trims, inspection panel, light covers sideskirts etc) have to be done then put it back together then fit windscreen etc..
so no guarentee

Wow mate this car is gonna be MINT!!
When I dropped mine off on Monday I saw yours was still white and the next day, all done lol
I can't wait to see once it's finished. Combined with the engine rebuild, she deserves to be in a front page of a car magazine. Hopefully you can make it to the nationals :)

hah yeah was in primer for a few days
only the body is done at this stage along with some parts that were removed, some still have to be painted.
i would like to make it to the nationals but its going to be a really tight squueze.
another big problem is chipping the paint as it will still be too soft and can get damaged easily, will have to keep my distance from the rest of the mob

Looks great! It really is a nice colour when in good condition - looses its classy appearance easily when it fades (IMO) << but i guess that goes with any paint.
 
Is this painted directly off the paint code?
Reason I ask is it looks a lot more blue then what mine was - could be just the photos playing tricks on my eyes.
 
Cant quite tell - are the holes on rear quarters welded up? Are you going with a Gen3(or newer) wing or staying with your original?

colour - i honestly dont know wethere they went off the code or matched it to what was already there, i will ask and confirm that...
AMP can be quiet deceiving sometimes looking bluish/green
Autopista rear spoiler is not fitted yet.
