Not much to report yet other than I'm really excited about the car. I can't say why but I haven't been this interested in a car in years. Back in 2006 when I picked up the other Raspberry car from Britt I did some research on the color. It is actually listed as "strawberry" in the Du Pont line of finishes. I think DaveP even told us that but we never really changed it. We all have been calling the color Raspberry so long now I can't bring myself to change it now. So as far as I'm concerned these are the berry sisters.
I sprayed out some test panels over the weekend with the idea in mind to have the acrylic enamel scanned and have the color mixed in single stage urothane. I went to the paint store and had it scanned. I had a pint mixed and I am going to spray out a couple more panels to check the color conversion. I damn near died when I was told a gallon of color will cost near $ 800.00! This is before the reducer/activator! The pint I purchased today was like $ 110.00! ouch! Well anywho, Here's the place for the progress reports. I hope to really get into this car by late August. We shall see. ![]() |
