Wow, very cool color Kevin. Look forward to seeing it in the sun. Got any pics of other cars the same color out of the booth?

I stopped by Kevin's shop the other day and I can tell you that this 911 is going to be one pretty car when done. He was wet sanding while I was there. It is such a joy to see a professional who takes great pride in his work and the efforts show. Jim

Why did you shoot it with fenders on? What about the rubber gasket at the top of the fender? Is that supposed to be painted?

I shot it with the fenders still on because they were in perfect condition. There was no need to re-seal the fender to tub joints. The fender to cowl bead was removed.

What!? Another hue of Orange??!

I am also going with Orange for my car... still trying to decide if to go with the new 997GT3RS Orange or not...

Here are some samples from left to right:

Blutorange aka blood orange aka tangerine 018
Signal Orange 116
997 GT3RS Orange 8C6 (in the flesh on a whole car it looked lighter)
Gulf Orange 019

Every job has it's own little details that effect the final cost. On an average I tell customers that they should expect to pay no less than 10G for a complete job. This includes all the rubber and body seals needed to reassemble the car. It is not uncommon to come in under budget at that price though.

Having just done the work I now know why it costs $10G for a super job. Because that what it costs.
