Got to try out the paint booth yesterday and it worked out great. I shot the underside of the hood, trunk, and engine cover in final paint.

Much Thanks to @mepstein so I had a hood to shoot!

If you hold your phone so that your thumb button is to the right, the pics should be rotated correctly. Andy explained it in a post here somewhere... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

This weather is killing me……I want to finish my paint…..Grrr! I did get some progress though. I got the hood and doors painted just before our glut of crap weather. I also assembled the custom headlights for the project.

The weather finally cooperated and I got the tub painted. This completes the paint for the car, a milestone I’m glad to have behind me!

Ok, so this is demoralizing………the tub came out a completely different color than all the other parts. I purchased a gallon of paint (base) and knew I would be pushing it to get the tub done without running out. So, I ordered another quart to be sure and it seems they completely screwed up the mix. I even added the new quart to about a quart of the original paint just to minimize any slight variability that could occur. So here I sit with my tub painted with 2 coats of base and 3 coats of clear (and it came out beautifully except for the color).

My only option is to sand and paint again, but I’m waiting on a response from paint supplier before proceeding. I can’t imagine what the cost would be to correct this if this had been done by a shop. Unfortunately, the weather is so hot now I probably won’t be painting until early fall……oh well!

Here are some pics of the difference…..

Nice! Always such a good feeling when paint goes on a 914.

Arggg. I can't imagine how frustrated you must be! Any chance you could add some graphic or something to either distract from it or, even better, make it look like you did it on purpose?
Just tossing out some ideas. Feel free to toss out what I just suggested.
Best of luck on a resolution.

Thanks for the sympathy and suggestions! After all I’ve done to make this thing straight I think I’m just going to bite the bullet and sand the tub and respray it. That said, it’s only an option if I can get paint to match the other pieces. I’m going to get new paint and spray a test piece first to make sure it matches. If it doesn’t, then I’m looking having to respray everything…….and that would really suck!
