Got Paint?

Well after many, many hours of labor stripping the pan for my '73 std, I have finally installed new floorpans and applied seam sealer and paint! Oh joyous day!! It feels good to have one major part of my restoration complete. Now I get to do some shopping and start installing new parts! The paint did not turn out as I had planned. I first wanted to spray it, but the mess and overspray in my shop did not sound good to me. So ::cringe:: I brushed it. It will be thick enough to inhibit rust and I know for a fact that all areas were covered. Below are some pics.
And for those that do not know what I started with...

Looks good to me! I've owned 20 or 30 Beetles over the last 12 or 13 years . . . I've never owned one that had a paint job that good on the body!
Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see what the finished product is going to look like!
