Jclgodale3 ..... stunning, absolutely stunning.

I'm 58 years old and I've carried a picture of your car on my phone since April.

How many coats of clear do you have on her?
What type of paint?
What brand of paint and do you have the paint's number?

I'm going with a 5 spoke chrome wheel, by SLP.
Is your exhaust chrome or Stainless Steel?
Do you burn your self on it often?

How about touch ups? Poop happens ya know.

Anything you would like to share?

I just Love it.

Ralph

Single stage urethane is much easier to touch up than base/clear.

It does look real good.

So If I simply tell the guy at the paint store I want LeMans Blue.

He'll know what I'm asking for?

Don't I need a number to go with it?

Like " Deepwater Blue Ditzler #13346."

Ralph


So far we have:

Deep Sea Blue

LeMans Blue and Blu Pozzi

Deepwater Blue

This is the order that I like them with LeMans Blue and Blu Pozzi being tied.

Please keep the blues coming We should paint on the 5th of October if all goes well.

I'll price the paint on Monday the 3rd.




Laser Blue Metalic

That makes it:

Paint code, WA-933L

19U Lemans Blue Metallic

This is the paint for the '04 Z06's

Is this right?

Lots of sanding and prep work today, boy am I tired.

Ralph

How does one post pictures?
