Now the really exciting pics.....

The shop painted up an old falcon guard in the pain we will be painting her...

PPG Vibrance

Oh man I can't tell ya how fricken excited I am, this colour is exactly what I was looking for....

OK to set it up.

The guard has 5 coats of yellow base coat
the rear of the guard has 2 coats of pearl
The front of the guard has 3 coast of pearl
then 2 coats of clear

We will likely run 5 base, 3 pearl, 4 clear, block it, run another 1 or 2 coats of pearl for the "ghost" flames, then more clear

All in all I like it, i love the green and red tinges when the light hits it at different angles, I love the metal flake, and I love the fact that the number of coats actually becomes lighter or darker depending on angle of light. Check out the pics, the front which has 3 coast, is darker than the rear in some shots , and then lighter in other shots at different angles.

Dissapointed we will miss paint before Xmas, just awaiting wheels now before we go to paint...they haven't left the US still being polished as we speak...hopefully they will go out this week

Enjoy...
