Finally got around to spraying the plastics and tank yesterday.

Original color was sparkling red, 97 F3.

The cosmic dust base coat is a silver with flake in it. And the orange is a candy orange.

I know its kind of a weird thread to start, but I was so excited to finally see it.



Still needs another coat of candy, along with the couple layers of straight clearcoat. Wet sanding as well.

The 2 spots where there was rash came out perfect. Hardest part? The spots where the stock stickers were.

I swear the adhesive they use on the bottom of the OEM stickers could keep a space shuttle together in low orbit.

 

 

Niiice color,man! Some gunmetal gray parts to go with that maybe? Looks distantly like my old Pug 405 MI16 that was painted with Volvo 435 Saffron pearl from the C70 coupe, but over red base (normally over silver)

 

We sprayed all the black plastic parts with the base coat silver. My maintenance covers were black anyway, so I'm sticking to that. Respraying the black plastic pieces and the maintenance panels with the black over the silver so that its still black, but still shows up in the sunlight.

My buddies doing the painting, and as we were leaving he asked me: "What about your wheels? Want'em molten too?"

So the wheels will be painted the same color now too.

 

Good color! Will look very nice.

 

Awesome looking color!

 

Talk about a sexy color, can't wait to see the finished product.

 

Small bump with more pictures. Everything is done but the wet sanding. The right side upper had a NASTY run on it when we originally painted. He had to take it all the way back down to the red and respray from scratch it was so bad.







Not bad for a garage job.

 

I love the color. Going to look amazing when it is done and riding in the sun! Great job. Scary part is looking at your parts I started thinking: "I could do that too!" Lucky for me, the thought passed. Close one. lol
