looks good i will have to come over and see in the light.. as i know how shitty its hard to grasp the true color but the lava one.. or just the last candy red ones might work.. too dark will just be black under my hood... but dont want fire engine either lol'
If you can't make it out here I'll stop down the store one day when the sun is out. I was actually thinking the black lava for you, I think the candy red is way too bright for your car. It really is amazing how much these colors pop in the sun.
I see what you were saying. Well the car is off the trailer I will have to bring some pieces parts over for you to play with.
double duh!! :dummy: of course!! hubby will love it!Quote:

Tomorrow I'm doing a pair in silver sparkle w/ a candy red topcoat. I also got a really nice gold that I did some sample panels in. If anyone needs anything done I'm pretty much caught up so now is a good time. Thanks again guys for all the positive feed back.
Easy to do when you do such great work!! Thanks again!!Quote:

Volvo dk gray metallic w/ crystal clear over it-they are for sale btw

Same gray in the sun

This one is actually black w/ a blue lapis topcoat. You have to see it in person to truly appreciate it. In the sun you the blue and green metallic explodes, really cool looking. Here it is indoors.

and here it is in the sun, like I said it hard to get it to show up on camera
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3209/...8a511ff058.jpg
Here is sparkle silver, I acutally put candy red over this but I thought I would show what the silver looks like. The silver would also look really good with a clear over it.

Now here it is w/ the candy red over it.

Here are some sample swatches I did in Sun gold. The left one has clear and right one does not.

Here is a pic of my brothers bike I just did all that solar rain bike parts for. Hopefully he will get me some finished pics here soon. Other than the pinstriping and now the powder work he built it and painted it himself.

Sick!
So what colors were you thinking for me? Oklahoma State candy orange or jollipop copper

I am thinking Oklahoma Candy Orange on the Air cleaner. For the Valve covers either Oklahona Candy Orange also of Polished and then cleared. Other Ideas?
Timido That oklahoma state color is the one for your car
Actually I think the jollipop copper would look pretty good. I wanna try it over a silver, a chrome and a iron metal glimmer I have. The Oklahoma orange is too orange for your rootbeer car.
Timido... I love your car... always wondered who's it was. I love the capri body with the 4-eye mustang nose :drool:
Here is a little bit I did this week. From greasy and nasty to nice and clean.

Nice. I look at mine everyday!!
So I guess I made it look so good there is not motivation to actually put it on the car.Quote:

Ummm not a correct statement. But motivation came in the form of, 'Honey, if my car is not done by cruise time...I'm driving the cobra all season!!' He's almost done with the motor (i think). Just need to get the car down to him. AND since those covers are so killer I told him he could not take them until he was ready to actually put them on the car. I didn't want them to sit down at some shop while a bunch of dummies drooled on them!! :lol: Kinda like what happened when they were sitting down at CS!! (kidding Andy!)Quote:

buddy has some wheel off his sand rail was wondering how much it would cost to get them done
Is it possible to get any pics so I can see the condition of them? Are they steel? What size are they? What color does he want? I'm sure I can get him taken care of
One very lucky 5.0 will be wearing these parts very soon.
