Saturday was a long day, but we got everything painted and cleared. The area under the roll bar and inside the sails needs the clear sanded and reshot. We just couldn't get a smooth coat in that area by reaching over the side of the car. My plan is to get them sanded back to the color coat and respray them while standing in the engine bay. Not a big job at this point.

We went with a little darker color and I like it better. I may be off from the Gulf Blue I originally was after, but That doesn't matter at this point. You can see from the two photos that the color looks different when its out in the sunlight (if that's what you call the stuff outside in Seattle). The natural light makes it look closer to powder blue.

Very nice! I like the color. Can't wait to see a complete car.

These complete restos make me want one too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

That looks great! I like the color much better than your first attempt.

No badges for me. I did leave the holes in the rear for the 914/6 emblem.

I really like this color! You know, with good chrome and some nice wheels, I may be rethinking Whitey's color!

Since it's already been color sanded once this time it will be even more smoother and probably the paint will hold up better after that many coats. Are you going to add any rock shield to the front of the rear fenders?

Nice Job!

Next time anyone paints a complete shell, paint the outer panels first, That's right-paint the outer panels, jams, fenders, hood and trunk, doors. Go ahead and clear, then mask of the outside panels as it's easier to do- then go after the back side of the hood and trunk, doors, trunks, engine lid and under the roll bar- The final is the bottom pan and inside fenders.

This leave the least amount of overspray on the interior parts and jams that you have to deal with and your focus is on wet sanding and polishing the outside panels.

Wow. Can't wait to see it put together. I forgot, are you going with the Gulf livery or keeping it all blue? Both will look nice. Great job and thanks for the pics.

I may do a little pin stripping in orange in just a few places but I'm not after the racer look, just a street car.

Re: Rock protection, I'm going to have selected areas of the bottom coated with bed liner. I've got a neighbor who runs one of these shops and he'll do it for the right price. I want to get it cut and buffed first. I think I'll do the underside less the areas where something is mounted and the firewall on the engine side.
