Mike,
This place is a wonderfull thing! Yes, I did call Sonny and asked him to send me a piece of gel-coat in what ever color they were shooting at the time.
I think it will be black. My partner has a great digital camera so hopefully you guys can see what I'm describing when it's all done.
Looking forward to our "experiment". A side note on the fading issue. Fellas, for a Cobra or a streetrod with a colored finish, fading is going to be a non issue! I have never seen a Cobra that was parked in the water, sitting outside 7 days a week, 24 hours a day!
For those that might prove me wrong, bring it to the shop in 3/5 years from now and I'll simply clear coat it for you. The largest boat we have done this to was a 26'! Now that was a lot of clear!
DV...I love messin' around!
