Sneak peek.......Charger coming out of the paint booth tomorrow........Spent a lot of time on this one, it's razor straight. After all priming and blocking was done car went in booth for sealer then 2 coats of base and clear, then brought out and wet sanded. Then received 3 more coats of base and 3 more coats clear.....Wet Sanding and buffing starts soon.

Nice job on the Charger :metal::metal:

I wish I still had my Charger... It was an actual stunt car from The Duke of Hazzard show that I traded my 70 SS Chevelle for back in 84. Boy was I stupid when I was young...

You do great work. Wish I was closer to have you paint my truck :uhmk:

Well it's on now. Finally decided on a color.........Done a test spray on a fender today and loved it. I found this color from a ride on this forum, cal 58 GMC. The color is from a 2001 Plymouth Prowler......... Burnt orange with pearl

I love the darker one a lot. But in person under a different light it might look different. It would look good in a 2 tone with white or cream also. But what do I know, I like yellow. :haha:

198plus 04-29-2011 01:11 AM

Re: 198Plus build
 
I agree I love the darker color also, It may be the sample of paint..... I used the cheap crap. :lol: I'm thinking a two tone also. You know what I think about YELLOW..........;)
