I don't really know to be honest, I can ask him if you like... here's a picture of it somewhere between the yellow and primer stage if that helps:

IMO there are only good and bad paint jobs... either pay $4000 to have it done right or $400 to have it done by Maaco.

Maybe not, but it looks just like the entrance to WestOne Auto Body, That's where mine was painted.

Hauling off the crashed MR2 in final preparation of the drivetrain swap into the shell currently being painted:

Took the engine out of the crashed car and put it into the new one so the rest of the prep and paint can be done on the shell... didn't want to finish painting then scratch something putting the engine in after haha
