Oh thank God, I was starting to think that the exterior was the final color and that it was painted like that. Then I got down to the frame and jamb painted pics and realized it's not. I was relieved to say the least, as my first thought was he was gonna be super pissed to spend 45K on chrome and then have a krylon paintjob lol.

Anyway, the finished stuff looks great. Like the color. Im interested to see the whole thing sprayed and put back together now :)

That looks way too shiny to be a primer -- can you clear up what the top color w/ the runs is? Is that the final paint or is the blue going over it?
