July 28, 2004: Big news!
The body parts are painted already! They look spectacular. They need wet sanding to smooth out the finish but the colours are awesome. The front fenders are a metallic BMW black while the rest of the body is Lotus "Chrome Orange". In the sun it's blinding. Lotus paints are extremely expensive and I'm in a little shock there, but this will encourage me to do the paint justice in both finish and attention to detail. Kids, if you buy a Lotus Elise in Chrome Orange, do NOT scratch it. If I'd been smart enough to ask about paint costs I might have ended up with a Daytona Blue car. Naaaaah...
