Lunch Box Build Update 6

Not too much of an update, but I wanted to post about my paint job. I am now on color coat #5. Only one spot became problematic, right below the driver's door on the left front side. I was a tad over zealous there and got a little drip. So, I sanded it out with 800 grit and put another color coat over it tonight. Tomorrow I plan on doing the detail work of the door handles, key locks, side marker lights and the windshield gasket. Then I will spray on an initial clear enamel coat to seal in the color before applying the decals. Prior to finishing the body assembly with all the chrome bits and windows, another 2-3 coats of glossy clear enamel to seal everything in and hopefully give a little protection from scratching. 

So far this has been a wonderful learning experience, especially from the body-finishing perspective. Hopefully you like the way it turns out!
