thanks all!

i used the marine clean and the metal etch. i did not take the car completely to bare metal and the prep process worked very good. although about 70% was all the way to bare metal once i used a wire cup to remove the seam sealer.

for the silver, base coat, i purchased the 6, 4 oz pack and used 5 of them for the whole interior including the roof. this included 2 coats. i used 2 quarts of whitecote in about 4-5 coats to get it to cover. if i were doing it again i would not have used whitecote and/or i would have sprayed the final color. still it is reasonable but i will sand it smooth in the future and respray the interior once i forget how much work it has been.

it is funny, i did not really plan for a red, black and white color scheme but since my new bbs wheels are red and i have some white fiberglass panels on the car and i wanted a lighter color on the inside to help repell heat the red, black and white scheme just sort of happened. although the elephant racing logo that has been on the side of my car could of had a subconcious influence. ultimately, i really like it.

can't wait to get it back on the road and ultimately to the track as the suspension has also been reworked including new tbars, sway bars, and corner balance. should help remove seconds from my lap times at the next poc sts event april 12-13.
