    Very nice color..... almost cried when opening the first photo...thought the rear bumper was repainted in that same color.
    The front clip is masked/taped... will you do that later on (in another color)?

    Those pictures were taken right out of the booth so I haden't unmasked anything yet. The bumpers are going to stay chrome.

    Thanks! It actually looks much better in person than the pictures. It has ALOT of big flakes of metallic that really sparkle in the sun. The pictures just don't pick that up.

    It's basecoat/clearcoat. I haven't done a single stage metallic job in 20 years. For durability, depth, shine and metallic oreintation Basecoat/clearcoat is the only way to go.

    That's seems to be what most everyone wants these days. Guess I am from the old school, as I use either single stage urethane or acrylic enamel. I painted a '70 challenger some years ago (Plum Crazy) with acrylic enamel and cleared it. I would put that job up against any type of paint.
