Here's a short video my body guy sent me. Hard to hear but I think he's explaining what he's doing.

Decided I needed a large blast box and wow they are pricy. My company sells golf carts to the Caribbean and Africa and there was an old POS with a van box on the back that they gave me. Here it is now with the car removed and all set up for blasting. Should have done this months ago. Total cost $155

Good lord! When I first pulled this up, I thought I was looking at the back of an ambulance and thought something horrible had happened! Then realized it is really totally awesome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Yeah Brent maybe I should have squirted ketchup all over it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/134.gif) It works great. I have a shop vac attached to remove the dust and I’m moving faster than ever! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dog.gif)

I've been out of the country more than in it for past month and a half. However my body guy has been very busy and here are a few shots. I decided, since it is a resto-mod, to go with a 2 stage paint. This is the first coat and it will return to the booth in a week after wet sanding and blocking for more clear. I don't have the name of the color but it was a one year color for the Porsche GT6.
I started getting nervous about my color choice a week before spraying and almost changed it to single stage and the original color. After seeing these photos, I'm glad I didn't chicken out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Amazing to see the car at this point after 14 months. Can't wait to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) but there is so much more to do.

That's cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Can't wait to see a pic of that color under natural sushine. Looks fantastic.

Looks incredible.

Could it be "Dark Blue Metallic" (not the most memorable name...), which was offered for only a few months on the 2016 GT4—making it the rarest color on the GT4 other than PTS shades. DBM was offered on 981s, 991s, and the 918, but is rarely seen out in the world. One of Porsche's best dark blues of all time, imho.

Can't wait to see your car together in the sun. Bold choice, but I think it's gonna look good, and Porsche did a similar shade on a gorgeous 356 Carrera 2 in the 1960s…

My aunt had the same horrible condition,our family is somewhat distant,talked to my cousin and asked after her and he said she was in a home but said not to visit as it would be a huge shock,I didn't go there as I wanted to remember her as she used to be..we were very close.
Amazing what you are doing,lost for words really...well done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) .

You are correct and I said GT6 but it is from a GT4. My painter said it was the most expensive paint he’s ever used. Maybe that’s why they only used it for a short period of time. It has Metallic and a little pearl as well but not enough to be obnoxious.

My son made a video of us picking up the car from paint.

Let's see if this works...

Home safe and sound thanks. It started raining so I'll pull her out in the sun later this week for some better photos.
