Looks beautiful.
Yeap, it's 5A

Thanks for the compliment.

It's the car's second full repaint.

Second?

My cars on the original 5A. It's a "bit" faded. I removed a bolt in the engine bay and found a blue about 5 shades deeper.

I bought the car from the original owner as 224,XXX

She had it repainted at 160,XXX

The old paint was fine but since I was putting in a new bumper\hood\sunroof I decided to go ahead with another full re-paint.

Very, very nice! Clean the louvers, shoot them with some satin black and install them! If you're going for retro...you need the louvers!
