Its funny that you mention how that color looks in low light conditions, it is rather dark and can have a brown hue. I saw penny at SEMA 07, under the lights the color is incredible, it pops. A month later I buy a pint to shoot a test panel(upper cowl panel) and put the thing on my fireplace mantel, looked at it for a month. Couldn't believe how the color changes in the low light of my family room, loved it in the sun, hated it at sundown. Shoot a test panel you won,t regret it, color is so final.
I agree Rich There's an Eclipse color that is almost the same in light versus dark. I also like the new Cadillac Red on the CTS my painter has one its gorgeous!
You guys remember Those nice DSE subframe connectors that were put in my car How fr**kin well do you think they will work without these attached!
Do you believe this!
Floor all painted sub frame powdercoated and I get this.
Those are the Sub-Frame ALMOST connectors! Don't let it get to you Wayne. Don't they bolt to the sub? Weld them in and touch up the paint. Like Greg said, which one are you building? If you want perfect, you know what you need to do. Not to get you down, but building these things are like that. They don't call it custom for nothing! I know it hurts when you pay for mistakes. Ask Greg and I how we know! Hang in Buddy!

What took 4 year to do ? How can you forget to put those in. I was going to pay to havce the bottom painted I don't care if it got banged up from driving but I wanted it to leave the garage all detailed. I just can't believe it.
Chad it killed me to see Greg with so many redo's that he had to fix himself.
Hey Wayne - I know it bugs you, but at least you know it is the order of things. Ever since I put my plan together and really thought it through, I was questioning how the heck you pcoat/weld/finish color on these things. I even did a reality check w Frank. So when I went to pick up my car, we had to grind down the pcoat at a clean line, weld'em up, and then shoot raptor over it. We did it same day I loaded my car in the truck! So really the only thing I don't blame you for is being upset about Mikey not gettimg that done prior to departure. Just one more thing to add to the list of gripes w that guy.....

Wayne, the really black spray cans should go out on Friday, it should match nicely after you have thoughs welded in.
I also forgot to weld on my DSE Tabs to the Frame If I was in your shoes, I would unbolt the Frame and lift the body at least 6-8 inches. Support the car by the rockers with 2 jackstands on each corner and place a 2x6 metal plate with a Soft Towel....Make sure you support the subframe at the rear.Use plenty of painters tape to mask the Frame rails,sand down the the area your going to weld the tabs and weld them in place....Belive it or not Brake Caliper paint holds up real nice and it has that powdercoat finish.
