let the fun begin.....

how about some black cherry pearl....i've been final blocking and recently used some cheap black acrylic lacquer to better see the flatness of the panels that i'd done work on ...acrylic lacquer sands off really easy...

i had some black cherry pearly acrylic urethane and said WTF...i did the side of the hood that was giving me trouble and i think i'm ready for paint

how about some green with envy....a test drive with the green basecoat

i see another 2-tone grn/wht

Ohh... you just gotta go for the first green color you posted. Looks so classic and classy!! ;-)

[esty]

the color seems to change with the lighting...maybe it appears bluer because of the blue cover i'm working under

thoughts...opinions?

I like the earlier, more pale green better. I think it suits the age of the car well. The green above seems to be too close to a color found on new beetles. Might just be the camera/lighting

(Yes, I recognize the hypocrisy in this statement since my car is painted a Scion color...)

both of these are actually the same paint...

the partial was a pic taken late in the day, with little light...the completely painted hood was during bright sunlight sitting under a blue tarp...the true color is the top picture

- partial

- complete

That's lookin' good Esty. Very soft pale green. Very 60's pastel color-like befitting of an 02. Nice job.

hey matt...here are a few from a few days ago...unfortunately real life & the real job pretty much halted work on my 69...it's almost finished...i ended up changing the paint scheme and need to finish putting on some trim, bumpers and getting the electrical hook'd back up & working

of all my o2's this is my favorite...i think because of the colors...you can't see them all but there are 2 more o2's parked in front of the 69 and 3 more behind it...sometimes ambitions get carried away

[MrSharky]

Wow!! that looks awesome. I hope you get to finish it someday (soon!) I know how it can get, though....

Great job!!

Nice choice on the wheels Esty. They are a great offset to the mild tone paint scheme. They send an "I'm serious" kind of message..and look VERY appropriate. Not blingy at all.. I love it.

When can I send a car for an "Esty" interior?
