Fresh paint (pictures)
From my painter today:

Color Silver and 2 coats of clear. It will dry for a few days while we sand the clear to stripe it. Then I will stripe it and re-clear the whole thing again with 4 coats of clear. Then it will be assembled and sanded to buff out. It looks good so far.

Pictures are from sealer first to final cleared finish.

Kevin

Thank you Ralph.

Two black stripes and the left half of the back end will also be black.

I did, John. Something for heat to find a way out via and something different. The SoFast Bonniville car has big openings there as well.

Brian

Hi, Brian
that looks great. Your silver looks similar to mine, but that will be awesome for the whole car. You'll need some good sunglasses.

Kim,

I think so good man.

Unless my paint is too nice.

Kidding. I've built it to be a track car.

Don't hate me 'cause my car's beautiful.
