Default My EG6 finally gets it's first coat of paint...guess what color

Heres the one of the before pics that only shows 1/2 of the damage done to the car when I got it.



Besides having front end damage caused at about 40mph, it had a good amount of hail damage and body work that needed to be fixed.

Here are some pics I took today after work of the first coat of paint.




Should be done sometime next week and the rebuild process will begin.

EDIT: For the record, I bought it hit and didn't actually wreck it myself.

I think there was a little overspray on the windshield.
Just messing with you. What color is that? Doesnt look Milano Red.
And is that a painted CF Hood?

The windshield was smashed from the airbags if you guys look close enough, so I told the painter to save time and tape for something better . Everything that needs to be taped off have been also.

I can't believe noone noticed this yet :





As for color, it's not Milano Pink .

****, did you prep? you didnt cover the windshield, looks like you got red on the black molding in the front, and in the wheelwell. maybe its the picture, but paint doesnt look smooth, maybe its the lack of clearcoat. what kinda gun did u use&gt; I'm sure it'll look better cause now it looks like hell, literally.

LOLLLLL
Look at the windshield again. There are NO moldings and I removed the fender liner. This is the FIRST of 3 coats of paint. I have no idea what kind of gun was used.

Is that a carbon fiber hood you painted over or a fiberglass one? By buddy has that same hood style on his teg but its carbon fiber.
