The most important reason the paint and body came out as well as it did was in no small part due to the factory finish staying (mostly) intact and the car never having been repainted save for the rattle can paintouts on the door and deck lid. A truly lucky find on my part!

My hat is off to those who have to deal with crappy repaints because it adds a lot more work to the whole project, esp. dealing with the overspray.
