One with 8 coats of red candy over silver with white pearl stripes and 7 coats of clear. Then wetsanded with 1000 then 1500 then 2000 then 2500 so that there is no way you can feel the stripes even in the jams. There is 10 k in just paint and paint related labor not including the bodywork. There will be 90k in this car when done and its one of the nices ones we have done yet. The hood opening is tight at the front of the motor and there is no way I would take the chance. putting the short block in from the bottom works great. I got it all covered up and put away for a few weeks but when its done I will post some photos.
