What color are your wheels, chin spoiler & the Stripe going to be on the car ???

I like the Titanium but it may be close to the wheel color and then the stripe might be a different color. So there may be to many colors merging together in such close proximity of each other.

Maybe match the Grille & the Chin Spoiler to tie it al together.

This has been one of the hardest decisions on the car. I think the wheels are dark enough that the grille, tail, and wheels should all match.

But... (Lou don't kill me for saying this.. )

It's only paint! It could change if need be. We could shoot it in the wheel color, and then change it back to black if it's too "loud", but I really think the lighter shade will better show it off.

Today Nathan is working on the rear deck spoiler to suck it down to the decklid and make it fit the car better.

There are so many subtle and cool features to the car that speak for themselves to the discerning eye that too many colors in the scheme would detract from those features..........IMO

It's looking great............less is more!

I like them both but leaning towards the black. You can't loose either way.

Kevin I noticed you used Evercoat polyester high build filler for your final blocking on Lou's car. How long have you been using this product and have you had any shrinkage issues??

My friend swears by the Evercoat featherfill polyester primer. Since it is a polyester, its intended to dry and shrink one time and its done. He's been spraying for about 2 years now and i haven't heard anything bad come back yet.

We have been using Evercoat Quantum1 filler and their Super Build 4:1 polyester primer with great success. We apply them over an epoxy primer over bare steel.

Both of those products are easy to apply and sand, and they pass the 500 salt spray test, so they are excellent corrosion inhibitors as well.

We have not had any shrinking issues with these.

If you're inclined, here are some videos that cover our bodywork and paint process:

Thanx Kevin!
I saw your video that's why I ask. In the past I used a similar product and I swore I would never use it again . I can't recall the name that's how long its been since I last used it. But it was a disaster!!
