Nope When it is done, it is done. At this point I aint gonna push it. But the current plan is to be driving by next Friday. We'll see how it goes.

You'll have to post some pics next to Gemini and Zenith when you're done.

It looks to have a more "pearly" quality than they do - very lustrous and beautiful... maybe it's not too late for me to change my mind on Gemini....

Nice car! I just completed my brown to blue project on my car too. My 87 is now Bali Blue from 1964.

Before

Randy there were two cars in Gemini blue at Monterey over last weekend. It is a very close match to my paint just a bit less "pop" to Gemini.

Be hard to tell the two colors apart unless they were sitting side by side.

Here are the two cars from Monterey, both Gemini blue that matched side by side.

This is one car in harsh late afternoon sun.



This is the other car in early morning light. Good flop to Gemini blue.




My Glasurit blue under bright overcast..




Shaded natural light..


So many blues to pick from. Take a look at the Glasurit color chips. Hate to see two cars the same one off color.

That´s a hugely attractive color ! Was it offered as an original color by Porsche or did you come up with it yourself ?

Very nice !

At first I was disapointed that you did not do the fuel filler through the hood but now I see it would not really fit the personality of the car. Beautiful Dane, very tastefully done.

I think at this point you've done all you can do (and multiple times too) to that car.

When you get it back together? You better just drive, drive, drive, drive............ and enjoy the hell out of it!
