heresey! I insist that you put some primer parts on it immediately! Or maybe some black gel coat bits. This is a serious infraction of the scruffiness rules of engagement.
ok....keep it like it is. ![]() |

Bird. It's the word...

Great stuff James! I hope you recorded the colour mix? "Scruffy Silver" could well be a hit

I have the color fishcop but it might take some beers to get it out of me!
Thanks Rob, she'll be 3.6'd soon and you'll have to come out to LA and drive some tracks. I have been waiting to track the car until I could with Tyson. Gonna have to get creative to protect that paint. But to be honest, she is a driver and if she gets chips fine, I will take her back in every couple years for a touch up.

Really nice color James. Your ride looks great with the matte wheels.
Good Luck on all that's going on.

Very nice work, James! She looks incredible!
I remember thinking that there were not many colors that deserved to be sprayed on this car when Tyson started the poll with color options before the two of you traded cars. That color is great. It really works well. |

Joe, Joe, where have you been my buddy Joe! Yeah man, married, to someone (something) other than a 911! Dude, I wanted to suprise you guys but the funds are only nearly now enough for the swap so here you have it, the new scruffy. Cant wait for you to see it in person. good luck on the girlfriend and the toad. see you in 2 weeks for the run up north. you are in right?
