Well done, looking good. Try a coat of 845 on your wheels also, makes clean up very fast with just soap and water.

845 is wonderful. I love the stuff. It is easy to work with and lasts forever. What more could you want?

I love the Cobalt SS almost bought one for the wife but she needed a 4 door so I got a Saturn ION with a blown motor and did a full ION Redline motor/trans swap now she has a SC 6 speed ION 4 door!

Great job on that paint it looks so smooth and deep!
