finally getting around to shooting some clearcoat. The base is AutoAir Caribbean Blue.
Hope to get it on track by mid-october. Still have to dyno tune it, that should take a few hours though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Attached image(s) |

I had to reshoot the hood.
By mistake I leaned on the hood after the second coat of clear (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) so I took it off wetsanded out the imprint of my jeans, then sprayed on a few more coats of clear |

QUOTE What will power it? Current power is a 2.2, 10.5 cr, twin plug, EFI, hybrid cam I had ground,Ti retainers, Aase valve springs. The engine has all the goodies etc. The car should scale at less than 1900 lbs. short gearbox with a quaife, 935 suspension bits.. plastic windows 944T &964 brakes The color is really growing on me.. at first I wasnt sure, but im liking it now! now to figure out some graphics (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

QUOTE How differerent from Mexico Blue? dunno, I just picked the color out of a AutoAir color chip book. Looks pretty damn close to mexico blue though. I will be needing graphics, just dont have any idea what I want on the car. What file format do you need to make the graphics? |
