Mali2ude paint pics
 

I wasn't going to post any pics yet, as the paint has not been color-sanded and buffed, which makes a huge difference. The painter and I decided to do the color sand and buffing in a couple months, after the paint has settled completely. I changed my mind and will post a few pics to give an idea.

The original color I bought was the darker rendering color, Infiniti diamond graphite. But we did a spray out and the color looked off, so I took it back and had then tint it. Then did another spray out and it now looked very metallic(y). So I went with another color I really liked, darker, but very pretty. BMW sparkling graphite is the choice, has a very fine metallic and mica (pearl). Beautiful in the sun, but kinda dark in the shade. I'm still very happy with it and Jim Ramirez (my painter) did an awesome job getting the car straight and color shot. Here's a few pics, will have many more as the car goes back together for Power Tour.

Looks good.......great color choice:yes:

Jody, you should really reconsider your choice of wheels... I really expected more from you.




Obviously kidding! Paint looks sweet. Are you ready to put it back together or are you waiting for other bits and pieces?

Wow Jody that looks awesome! Has a real nice "depth" to it. The body lines really jump with that color. Great choice! -Rob

Awesome color Jody!!! :thumbsup:

thanks guys. I'm very happy with Jim's work.:thumbsup:

Jody

Looks great Jody:thumbsup: What paint did you shot it (brand)

Great job Jody and Jim. Car is going to look fantastic, especially with that real pretty motor under the hood.

thanks Stuart!

Dupont Chroma Premier

jody

radambler

Looks great. Cant wait to see it back together again.

Yeah, looks killer Jody.
That is such a nice car.

Kevin

Killer paint:yes: Come on Frank you aren't going to let Jody show us up are you:D

Looks great. Your car isn't even done yet but I know it's gonna be up at the top of my favorite PT cars. I look forward to seeing more. :hail:

Love the color, and can't wait to see it come together. Even without the color sanding it still looks great! Nice Choice.


But can we talk about your choice in dogs? You have built some seriously mean cars, but I don't know if that pup is up for the challenging of protecting that assets haha!;) :D :rolleyes:


Tim

that's the painters house and his dogs............. :yes:

Came out very sweet. I really like how body line shadows look. Good choice. :thumbsup: :hail:

That's a darker color then I thought you were going with Jody? I also like it much better. That's going to look so bitchen. I can't wait to see it.

Looks great, Jody. It's gonna be a beautiful car when it's done.

thanks everyone. :cheers:

Jody

Looks great!! Thanks for the pics!! So does this mean it's going home soon?

Jody that color is AWESOME! How are the bumpers, trim, etc going to be finished? Chrome, painted, other.

Looks GREAT Jody :thumbsup: I totally dig that color:)


Paul

nice looking color

sorry Jeff, hit edit instead of quote.............. :P keeping the stock chrome bumpers and polished stainless trim around the windows. The hood chevelle lettering and peak trim, drip rail, and wheelwell mouldings were removed when Mark did the car.

Jody

thanks everyone, the comments are appreciated. I like the color, but understand it's not everyones cup of tea. Should look good with the carbon fiber and grey tones under the hood and in the interior.

Jody

I think it kicks ass. That color really makes the body lines looker sharper. Can't wait to see more. :cheers:

Looks awesome Jody & Jim. Now you are on the downhill slide. Keep them progress pics coming:thumbsup:

Kurt

thanks Kurt, I really appreciate your opinion.:cheers: You did an amazing job on Scott's car.

Jody

Jody, have you decided on wheels yet? It seems like I remember you had it narrowed down to two different styles?? I can't wait to see your car done....:thumbsup:

yeah, I already have the Vintage Wheel five spokes and was also looking at the Forgeline 10 spokes. The darker paint color may change that though, might not want a dark wheel on the car with darker paint. Maybe keep lighter spokes, not sure.

Jody

By the way Jody, cool dog!
I think the five spoke would be killer
Kevin

I forgot about the rendering...DOH I was looking to do a similar color scheme with the Galaxy. With the way yours is turning out I'm pumped more than ever! Can't wait to see the engine bay. :thumbsup:

Is this car going on Power Tour?

Jody,

Looks killer. And, the vintage 5 spokes will make for an awesome look.

Chris

and I already have those wheels, so initially that'll be the look. Not my dog, belongs to the painter. He's got more than one!

Jody

yes, car will be on Power Tour.

Jody

thanks Chris.
