Been following this thread. I'm excited to see the end product.

Gary sent me some pictures of the hood. Look at the reflections - you can even see the wires on the overhead lights. Can't wait to see the finished body shell.
That's glossy!
Lovely pics and great restoration.
You might as well of had a colour change with the amount of work you have done Looks great!
Will the car have the Alpina livery/pinstripes?
'93 850Ci - Mineralweiß Metallic
2001 740iL - Titansilber
ALPINA B7 -Alpinweiß III
...the price of cool ain't cheap!

That's some impressive work to make the hood like that.

Great job Roger and it's nice to see that you're focusing on quality and not on saving money while restoring this beauty.
BTW, are you going to put the gold stripes under the clear coat? Might be worth considering as they'd be nicely protected that way.
Cheers

P.S. I wouldn't call Steffen picky. He's German, that's why

Gary and I discussed both putting the tape under the clear, or actually painting on the Alpina stripes (yes he can do that and is that good so you would never tell), but in the end, decided to do it just like it came from Alpina - tape on top of the clear.
And, I can understand why Steffen is the way he is...because of his Genetic background!!!
Thanks Wolf.

I just received some pictures of the painted shell last night from Gary. First two are after 3 coats of Silver, the second 2 are after several coats of Clear. The car will be block sanded down to 3000 just like the hood and other parts.
The windows are not in the car, and all the metal underneath has been prepped and painted underneath. They have just been laid in placed to help close the openings during painting.
Without the clear:
With the clear applied:
Damn that's beautiful!
Smooooooooooooth and shiney shiney :-)

Is this like a 10k paint job? Looks great!
