Thumbs up Thanks for the welcome

Thanks Chuck for the welcome.



I have your email.

I decided on Guardsman Blue with GM white stripes. A yellow stripe over the guard.

I will "Post" some photos on my gallery once progress is made.

The white Gel coat was disguised by running the stripes over the body in flat black KH one afternoon over a few beers.

I was comfortable with this, and as I said, I drove it over 10,000m in six months this way



This gave me time to swap colours in my head a few times.

I "Posted" asking for photos or references to the Guardsman Blue colour and had a few replies with photos. PPG was given as the reference point and we have done some tests. Looks great.

I have attempted to replicate the race theme and will spend the next few weeks completing nose cone aluminium and trunk aluminium.

Again will "Post" some photos in the gallery.

Thanks for the informative site.

Take care

Cheers

Bernie

PS - Chuck how much paint ended up over the house and the neighbours houses???
