Dirt sticks to flat like crazy. This is real automotive paint, and will look great with a simple spray at the car wash, and last lots longer too.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) I like the contrast of flat black all around the bottom on 914's. Just me though. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

But dam Curt, that looks great! Now get busy on the rest of them! 3 to go! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

In Curt's case CW is "Country & Western" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)


To many others it's "Concourse Weenie"... I think. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

BTW3, I don't think "concours" is an English word. I know there's "concourse" but that means a mall or a plaza.

"concours" is a French word, and it is spelled with an "s". It refers to a challenge where there is a limited number of winners, i.e. not everybody can win. In school, there was a big difference between an exam where everybody could pass and a "concours" to enter another school or university where there were only a limited number of spots available.

"Élégance", of course, means elegance, so that "Concours d'élégance" means a contest to see who gets a prize for most elegant.

HTH

We now return to regularly scheduled programming.
