Hey now, I saw your post this morning but didn't check back for pics. Looks good! I see you saved the comics for Miles.
What is the final color going to be?
Posted by: scotty b Jun 25 2005, 07:26 PM
Uhm yeah sorry bout that, but after seeing that pic I had to run into the b-room and take care of something. I'm feeling much more relaxed now thanks.

I think I have decided to go all White with light silver trim, ghosted kind of. I may even do a stripe down one side of the hood and trunk.

It still looks like a Chalon (sp?). No amount of paint can hide that

Looks great Scott!
Would have typed something earlier but too lazy to set my beer down. At least someone is motivated to work on their car. I have been worthless ever since coming back from the bay area last weekend (much cooler there).

Funny how that works, eh? Went to redding week before last and it was cooler and rainy. Got back here and haven't been able to shake the heat. Tuesday morning was toughest when I went to work at 7:00am and the car thermo said it was 100 degrees already. Funny, everyone in that office apologized for the weather, I loved it!

A week ago I was freezing my butt in Sausalito eating lunch at a deli along the bay. A couple days and 40 degrees later I'm back home and in no mood to do much of anything.

The Shalom is looking great! The white/silver sounds like it'll be a nice color combo. Keep it up.
Posted by: GWN7 Jun 25 2005, 08:18 PM
It's white....isn't white the absence of all colour?
Hence it actually has no paint. 
BTW looks good

Aaron, would you like to buy a clue? ($5)
White = All visible colors combined.
Black = Absense of color. Otherwise space wouldn't be black (durh!).
It's okay, I guess you'll take a science class sometime in your college career

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 26 2005, 03:04 AM
Alright you dorks. Here is the down low on black and white.
Black ABSORBES all colors
White REFLECTS all colors
Thus white would be the sbsense of all colors if looking form the perspective of its actual content, none with total reflection. And, black would be the pesence of all from the prespective of absorbing them all.
Sheesh 
Posted by: skline Jun 26 2005, 05:51 AM
Who cares? The car is going to be white because when you touch it with your forearm in the sun, you dont pull up a blistered section of skin. With no AC I would like the car to be as cool to the touch as possible. White it is.

In all the old Westerns, the good guys wore white hats.
So how does that apply to the 914 Club?
Actually, white is for virgins and a sign of surrender.
They try to tell us that the Yellow Porsche's Are Faster.
Red is for the people with small
Blue, green, and
Orange is for yellow / red wanna bees.
Silver is Roy Rogers horse, not a color for a car.
I think that covers just about everyone.
If I didn't name your color and I have not offend you,
it is only because you were not worth the effort.

White & black are considered shadows therefore, if left grey, it would be stealthed & you'd be safe to go hundreds of miles per hour

Silver was the Lone Ranger's ride.....
Trigger got stuffed and is in the Roy Roger Museum.
What was Roy's band name????
Son's of the Pioneers

Andy is right, as long as we are talking about RGB color values. Equal parts of Red, Blue, Green (at 100% luminence) equals white. Black is no color, or equal parts of R, G, B.

It would be if they were actual bellows but they are fiberglass and part of the front bumper/spoiler, I will just paint them black when I actually paint the car. I imagine they would be tough to get the paint off otherwise.

?. are the neighbors complaining about the 914s constantly littering the driveway and all the racket that goes along with them? re light. get out your prisms guys. FULL SPECTRUM= all colors. a white car reflects all colors. a green car absorbs the frequency of green light and reflects all others.

in additive color, yes....
however in subtractive color, black is the combination of all colors, and white is the absense of color. Think of a printer.

Nope, my neighbors love me. I try to keep the noise down and never after dark. There is one directly across the street that is a pain but other than that, they are all cool.

Actually a green car absorbes all colors except green which is reflected so that it can be seen. If it absorbed green, you would see no green.

That's right. you'd see a magenta/fuschia/aubergene color.

Speak for your self, Buddy!
I got out yesterday and put the engine back together on Betty's car, and put it back in the car. Got all the underside stuff hooked up before we left to go to the Dirt track races (They had an ARCA sprint car race and a demolition derby!!).
This morning I finished up the install of her engine and got it running. Then I put my car on the lift and pulled the rear suspension so I can send it to the powdercoaters.
And it's only 2:00 in the afternoon. Now I gotta go feed my parents cat, then it's back to the garage to finish the work on the suspension and if I get time install the seat tracks.
BTW Scott.. That car looks great!!! We need more picts.

RGB color model on your computer (or TV), assuming red, green and blue values are bytes with a maximum value of 255 and a minimum value of 0 ...
BLACK
-------------------
Red = 0
Green = 0
Blue = 0
WHITE
-------------------
Red = 255
Green = 255
Blue = 255
the answer to your confusion is the fact that there are different color models ...
