Painted the Track Rat.. - Lateral-g Forums

And it was never racking.. trying to do something "different" is a pain! Now I know why every other car is red.

Was going for '53 Porsche Azure blue.. but Dupont couldn't find the formula.. thier first try was WAY dark. So we used the Atlas color chart and found what we thought was close.

Turns out it's brighter.. like a darker Laguna Seca blue.. it's pretty and when it gets kitted out with trim/wheels/stuff it will really pop.

Next week we assemble Track Rat and Jon at Best Of Show will lay down the CF and blood red graphics.. we will also be doing a tatoo on the lower front fenders.

Looks good. I agree the trim and wheels will set it off.
