Neil....nope. Hoping it gets painted this week! If you look up weekend project in the dictionary.....you will find a photo of my car
Taking a little bit longer than I would've liked due to my job and limited access to the body shop.
Did you pick up your 52 split window?? Pics please.... Any other goodies in the garage? _________________ 2013 Jetta

I am jealous! That spray out you got of the color is going to look real nice! I am amazed at the condition yours came back from the blaster. That was one super clean start! _________________ Ethan Dunlap

Removed the doors today.....prepping inside for first taste of Nile Beige
Fortunately we found some OG Nile Beige under door check rod.....matched up very nice with our mix.
This pic shows how far off our first attempt to color match was.....glove box door on bottom of roller bench (first mix)....spray card on top of door (second mix) spot on....this is the Nile Beige we'll go with
