2 shots as I was unmasking it, I put the wheels back on, trimmed the headlight covers for the bumper and marked where I will be appying the Dinitrol plexiglass paint/primer.
Painted the small bolts and clips that were red that hold various parts to the car.
I also had to touch up the door handles as you could see red when you lifted the handle all the way up
its tough spraying these colors because the light can play tricks on your eyes big time, anywhere the lighting isnt as bright the car appears darker, the green in the color comes out, same thing like Mazda's CYM color.
Now I will wet sand and polish the car, then its re-assembly time

rob and kev,
that looks really REALLY really nice. can't wait to see the entire thing complete. couple questions though.. do you plan on getting different rims/tires? and will your car still be the flamethower of all time?
