Great color! Nice job.

That is just beautiful. I love that color.

Hands down, Adriatic Blue is my favorite color on a 914.

Looks great, keep the photos coming!!!!!

They painted the mirror housing?!?!?!
Are you going with OEM trim, or body color, or black or?
Lookin good!

I have both a blue & black mirror but I'm undecided as to which one I will use. My door handles will definitely be blue. All of the other pieces will be satin black (targa trim, bumpers etc)

Looks beautiful. I can't wait to get some paint on mine.

What type and brand of paint did you use? Single stage urethane or a base coat / clear coat?

You didn't really use that ancient can your painter found.

Oh hell no. That old can of paint was just a joke

My car comes home on Monday. The hood is a little proud due to the new seals

Very nice work.
Adriatic blue is a great color for a 914 and you don't see it often.
Where did you get your windshield? It looks original with the bubble curve on the upper portion compared to the reproduction who are flat.

To the best of my knowledge it is the original windshield

What's going on with your sail panels, Dave

Do you mean I can't use those magnets to hold the sail panel vinyl on?

Blue mirror looks good

Kinda have to have a satin black theme to pull off black mirrors.

More progress, no magnets

Your car looks great! Love that color!
I'm not sure how I feel about the blue mirrors and handles yet... but kudos to you for trying something different!

Congrats!

I'm not a fan of the shiny silver weather it be chrome or stainless steel so that left either powder coat black or matching blue.

David

Great looking color! Love the black trim, really sets it off!

Car looks awesome Dave. Can't wait to see it in person when It is all done. If I can help you with anything let me know.

Earl Scheib would paint your mirrors, door handles, tires and wheels ... for no extra charge ... Wiki

Hey I paid premium $$$ to have my mirrors & door handles. It is all about how effective they are at masking

Not to Hijack the thread...
Got this back from paint last month and it is going to be a VERY long process
to get it back together... Had to push it outside today to configure the garage for winter.
Keeping it under the lift just made me bang my head on the lift rails.
Now it will be in the middle bay.
Stainless Rear Bumper and new bumper pad look OK...
