So first topcoat color is done in the engine bay. This will match the interior too. We are painting in 2pak so you can spray straight over the primer layers.

Looks great but got a run in the worst place possible too.

Hey Mark, It's grey! I can't remember the color name but we chose it after discussing it for about 2 mins at the paint shop

It looks a bit brown in certain light but its come up quite well considering we kind of just guessed

Yeah, I thought a lot about it but as my car is a bit of a homage the the DTM Series in the 1970's we went with grey but we went gloss as the Matte is too hard to clean

Hey Mate,

Was up till 3 last night so thevend is in site

Weve decided to just get it to the show in undercoat thrn paint afterwards. We'd hate to rush it and not do the hest job we can

The interior will be complete though so it should look pretty cool anyway hopefully

Cheers
