I's called Nighthawk Black, but you can see the blue real good under direct sun.

Good news.  The wheels are on.



Bad news.
The roof needs a repaint......
Went home and washed it for the first time since I've had it back after I got the wheels on.  Noticed about 30 small "paint pimples" on the roof.  Looks like an issue that will necessitate bringing it back down to the metal......AGAIN.

At least it's only the roof.

The roof was probably the worst part on the car when we stripped it.  I am NOT gutting this  car again.

It's weird.  they don't look like your typical surface rust under paint.  They appear similar to fish eye runs.

Was some residue from the stripping process left on the roof when the primer was put on?

Can't rule ANYTHING out at this point.  Might be  a week or 2 before we can do anything about it.  The good news is the fact that it's not noticeable unless you get right up on the car.

That really bites about the paint man.  However, the wheels look AWESOME.  They really changed the look of your cat!
