Finally found a source for Blaze Blue plastidip online that wasn’t ridiculously overpriced so I attempted to paint the roof on Rocket blue.
It looks great, except for the fact that I did a terrible job painting it. It looks like some kind of strange marble camouflage pattern or something. It doesn’t look good, is what I’m saying. It’s also peeling at the front already. I’ll leave it for a few days, then maybe just leave it on the spoiler.

Bumper is Attached
I’ve decided to call this version 2.5, I dont think just the new bumper qualifies for a v3.0. Got some updates from Detroit Tuned, the poorly made and even more poorly supported Prior font bumper has been fitted and mounted. Car is once again prepped for paint.
One good thing is we got to shave the badging off this time! So out of ashes rises another phoenix.

Blue Dragon
It’s getting close (and we are running out of time!) The “Blue Dragon” paint sticker went on yesterday, so the color is now official. A few hoses and minor adjustments remain, I’m heading back to Detroit Tuned today to sign some final paper work, and hopefully help finish things up. It’s going to be down to the wire, literally. Poor Chad’s car is up on blocks…

Final Paint Prep
Stopped by the body shop [Lafata Auto Body] this morning to confirm the final paint color choice. There are parts of my car all over the shop. Both doors are off, the bumpers are in the corner recovering from their shaving.
I’ve been having dreams about the color, and seeing the book and color options again has confirmed that the color I picked months ago is still the best one. Painting begins tomorrow, the 13th!
