Michael, what shade of gray are you going to use. My plan also was to use a solid gray. Must be a Boulder thing; I lived there for 20 years before I retired from Ball.

Correct Tony.

I must admit too, I miss the good old days, for us everything changes every 2 years, we have to stay on top of our game, If I can be of any assistance, you can bet I will do my best.

I am starting to like gray too.

I just ordered everything else I'll need to complete the car including all of my body seals, my RS carpet kit, and my paint supplies. Here's what I'm going with for paint:

1st layer: UPOL Reface Poly Spray Putty

PPG K38 Primer Surfacer

PPG DBC Deltron 2000 Base Coat

PPG DCU2021 Clearcoat

It was about $700 for all this stuff, including all of the hardeners/reducers.

It's supposed to be the "good" stuff for where I live. I'm excited!
