Neon fluorescent yellow and black...3 years old and now showing some fade...Lesson learned not to get the neons as they are only a 1 year warranty vs 3 years on standard colors.
Wow! I like that. However I'm an old guy and my kids prolly wouldn't approve. Thanks for the heads up on warranty. BTW, did they do the inside door facings, etc?
There was a thread a few weeks ago with a pearl white rap that was spectacular, I think the guy has a detail shop and he's had it removed but it's worth a look.
I plastidip my cars. I just did my C5 the other week. It's black and grey metallic mixed for a base, with 2 coats of gold flake loaded clear on top. The car is satin on purpose. Plastidip lasts longer than vinyl as well. I have a customer who still has one of my original dips on her Merc 8 years later. She's a family friend of my mother in law, so I hear from her about it here and there.
My Vette's been many colors

Hardly. I had 3 gallons of base already in stock, so all I needed was the one gallon of loaded clear, which was $77.oo shipped. It's normally between $280 and $400 for materials for my C5; significantly cheaper than vinyl wrap.
You can get all the tools, and materials to do your car for under $1000.oo, and then the sky's the limit. The satin black in my picture above was just $210.oo and 3 gallons. It does take a while to learn, but I am so glad that I did. It's a fun hobby.
I did my wife's 8j TT a year ago in a crazy mix we call Ultraviolet. It's 150 grams of sterling silver pearl, 75 grams of violet alien color change pearl, and half a bottle of a clear tintcoat called grape juice, all mixed into 2 gallons of dip pearl topcoat clear, and sprayed over a matte black base. Materials were $510.oo

Does that include inside the doors and under the hood? What I'm asking is if someone were to open the door will they still see blue, likewise under the hood. What was the original color?
