Plug Bug: Two tone bug

Electric Bug

I finally pulled some pictures of the final painting of the car. No front picture yet, as I haven’t put on the hood (I bought the wrong seal). I’m quite happy with the result. Metallic silver on top, and metallic red on bottom.

Final clear coat shot of the side with the fenders on:

The side is *slightly* darker than the fenders, but it is really hard to notice. That is because I put more coats on the side to get rid of some striping I got from the metallic paint. Overall, I’m quite happy with my first ever paint job.

I ordered a new interior set; black carpet, black seats, and a gray headliner.
