oh.


well... i live in california so it doesn't help huh! haha

looks good. what was the bottom colour before you painted it? i personally, think the two-tone is what makes the car's lines look so good.

Yeah, it was kind of a difficult choice, but after having it for a lot of years, i decided the one tone, for a change.

The lower part was a darker color of this type of red. Maybe like burgundy.

Looks very nice in the picture. I like the two tone also. Seems like the side cladding comes off on those, you could have it reshot later if you wanted..I remember the early 90's broschures modeled that color. Very classy, love it.

Very nice paint job. Looks great on the car too.
As for Zed, The paint would peel within time.
