OK, we have had a meeting of the minds., Sort of.
We will now perform the CASOB closed door paint job to make this years color Black. Think of this as a mood car, like the mood ring. Black is very appropriate this year. This will be a one/two day quicky to make it look presentable again for the year. Await further pictures, she is in position, up front in the "live" stall, and about to assume the position (jack stands). The simple plan is as follows. Remove bumpers, headlight covers, F/R parking lights and blinkers, simple chrome...the rest gets masked. Hit the car with 200/320/400 depending upon need. Just a tad of plastic to fix a few ripples we left last time. Then black single stage (maybe two stage.. if I can get a deal) We will be painting the wheels also, just cause hes into that look. bumpers, rockers, valances...all black. Even the little wanna be fog light grills that are all beat looking.....black. I am happy to hide the outer appearance of purple at this point, and the inner soul of the car is still purple.. According to SirAndy, alot of the prototype cars used different colors inside, and that is our new story. Rich |
