The painter left the undercoat in the trunk bay but reshaped the
inner fenders by sanding and a light coat of fiberglass.A The bay
is painted in the equivalent of Rustoleum #7777 - Semi gloss
black.A The car is painted dark metalic blue and he polished the
underside of the hood like a mirror.A As you walk up to the car you
can see the engine bay in reflection from the underside of the hood
(couldn't find that picture).
