Takes guts to start spraying the body panels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Guts or stupidity. I can never tell which! hehehe Dion stopped over to check out the paint and he's stoked about those calipers.

Awesome work, awesome color, great thread!!!

I am going with a little lighter sort of Light Seal Grey on my 914-6 GT Tribute.

Love the color, my Mom had a 69 Bug about that color, I used to shift ot for her from the passenger seat when I was 7.

I could see orange on there too. Think Singer. Cream, gulf blue, and silver/grey. Love the wheels.

I saw the Singer with orange letters and grey striping. Gotta love vinyl. Can always change your mind. Singer is where I got the idea for the color. They took this color and modified it for a 911. I got a color sample from Willhoit and really started liking it. So I rolled with it. The seat centers are black suede with .06" diameter holes every 1/2". There is orange cloth underneath. So the seats have little orange polka dots.

That orange trunk lid hanging in the garage is speaking to you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

It been a while for updates. I have a new respect for body guys. Went thru the learning curve like everyone has too. Was not satisfied with the first shot , so I reshot the whole car. Dirt issues are a mother. That said I'm really happy with the results. She should be on her wheels this weekend. Assembly time!! I will get a pic
This weekend once she's rolling

Hey Rory, thanks
All the panels were stripped bare with 36 grit to bare metal. Sandblasted the rusty spots and welded in new where it was rusted thru. Had the front deck and engine lid media blasted to save time. But they were warped when they came back so I went back to stripping the paint myself. The inner fenders and trunks were all sanded down by hand to bare metal or the original paint. Dion and I spent one Saturday sanding the front trunk and cowl area. Tough on the fingers!!! Sand blasted the engine bay bare. The floors, outer longs, sills, door jambs, upper and lowers wheelhouse, front fenders and one quarter panel are new. They required less work of course. Those are repro's of PAGs.
Wasn't that long ago that the car looked like this.
