New color has started
 

Took a big step last night.....

I've been on the fence, keep the car the same metallic brown, or bite the bullet and change the color.

Change in color won.

I figure, since its a track car and a non-metallic color, I can do a piece at a time, then eventually pull the glass, put in the cage, and paint the tub.

Here is a sample of the new color...

It's very close to 156 orange, guy in paint shop couldn't pull up a code for it, so we used the chroma base chip book.

Front end will be next....

It is so dull. No one will see you coming!! :D I think I need these to look at it. :cool:

Looks great, John! Pretty close to the Glasurit 156 Orange, too!

I like it!

Excellent choice!!

I would stick with the metallic brown, rosewood. It is a good color for a 911 and is becoming popular in new cars again. Rosewood has a lot of debth to it.

Bumper is mounted for now, need to find a bumper to body gasket for under the reflector....

Of course the fiberglass repair popped :rolleyes: while I was installing it, so the paint has a crack now.....I'll just do it again when I do the rest of the car. Looks good for now....

Toight like a toiger

Love the color John. Glad you didn't pic signal yellow. ;)

John, looks great. But I'll have trouble telling you from Paul Thomas at VIR!!! :D

hehehe, I'm sure we'll have different numbers

Hoooooooo...that color is superb...very nice choice...!

I like! Kind of resembles the fantastic color schemes of the 964 RS.

Love it.
Curious what kind of paint are you spraying? Also is it single stage, or did you spray clearcoat also?

That looks great. Can't wait to see the whole thing. Excellent choice.

Told one of my co-workers/car buddies here at the office about the bumper popping and he said "did you put flex agent in the paint" Dooh! Oh yeah, this is fiberglass. I'll redo the bumper when I paint the front.

Anyway.....here is my inspiration.

Orange rocks. Great choice.

(But brown is great for UPS trucks.)

I too agree.
Great color. Look forward to seeing the final product.
