Not much that can be done at this point regarding the base PPG Omni Plus coat. My mechanic spoke with him at length about this topic and shot me the note below. The car won't see much in the way of sun or outdoor exposure so staying optimistic and I'll be sure to review the cost sheet for materials thoroughly.

I talked to him at length the top grade base is not as good as the ppg mid grade. The top grade flow and lays like water and is not as high quality as mid. From my end of business sometimes a less expensive product is better. I don't judge by price tag. I go by results. Have faith.... car looks excellent ..you'll be very happy.

Omni Plus is not your father's Omni. The car will be fine.

GT3RS guys confirmed that their crest decal is on top of the clear coat so I won't be clearing over it. Hope to have more pictures tomorrow.

Well...she's done. Overall I'm very happy with the work done.

There's still a slight fitment issue with the driver side headlight cover staying wrapped around the black headlight housing but I'll save that for another day. Love the decal

Thanks to all that followed along!

Thank you! Got home today and noticed a small oil spot up front. It never ends....at least she looks good.

Which black paint did you use for window/hatch metal trim?
