**UPDATE**
I've fully disassembled the exterior in preparation for paint. The entire car has been sanded with #240 grit. Off to the paint shop on Wednesday.     Going back with the factory color. KT

The painter called me yesterday and asked for the car early.
I brought it to him and they got all of the body work done by this afternoon.  It'll be primered tomorrow, I believe.   KT

I was gonna suggest carbon fiber emblems- would look GREAT with that paint. (the carbon-fiber emblems have grey CF where the blue is).

I haven't seen those before. ( pics? )
Also thinking of doing a thin black pinstripe along the sides where they were originally tan. KT

Car is home.
Front lights and grills, rear lights, rear trims, keyed door locks and left rear window are installed. Tomorrow afternoon I will install the bumpers, hood emblems, right rear window, interior door panels, handles and window cranks. It's looking great. KT

Beautiful work, a lot to be proud of.
how much of the sanding was the orbital and how much by hand?
