Guess this means you are going to paint your car PINK! Your little girl deserves it

You rattled canned the whole car? How long before the paint started to peel away?

Some parts were transferred, but those are different bumpers. First was the metal original, second is fiberglass, which has survived to the present orange 944LS. And yes, I do happen to be a lefty

Never, rustoleum rocks

That crappy looking car did well at the PCA event, taking third overall. Scruts visited me many times that weekend, finally wrote me up for not having my front wheels completely covered.

Frank, you have inspired me. Now my looks like a junkyard refugee in the garage, too!

This is what is inspiring the next stage:

At least this was the original plan, but I bailed on it.

That simulation was done on Forza by my crew, it's a cartoon. Now I've got AJ Hartman standing by. Temperatures will drop this week and I can't make any progress in my unheated garage. Don't want to miss the season opener at Lime Rock.

Yes. Paintshop, not paintjob. Whoever in your crew did that is good from what I can see. Wouldn't mind doing some simulations also. Don't have skillset.
