Mustang was hit while it was parked and his insurance paid for it. I was bummed out but I found this cuda after several months of searching. I just bought ppg graphite metallic deltron paint along with ppg 2002 clear. I stripped the car over the weekend and its headed to the paint shop. I will start a thread soon.
