The interior and underside of the Ghia are painted. The painter is still working on the exterior and it should be finished in May. In the mean time some finished parts were picked up, like the gas tank, wheels, top frame, etc. The paint looks great! This is going to be one fantastic looking Ghia when finished Very Happy

Those 50's paint colours and upholstery combinations are something special. Loving it!

The Ghia is finally painted! Just waiting for the paint to cure before the final cut and buff, then it's headed back home.

Here is the paint that was used in case anyone needs to match it:
