Default coming back from paint....finally

Well at long last my car is heading back from paint.
Well it took longer and cost more..I am shocked..lol
We are getting the car back today to start putting it back together. Yes the headlight trims are not secured yet. Have about 3 weeks worth of work to get the mechanicals and upgrades completed.

Color looks really good. Not sure if it is the same as the original color but it definitely gets my attention more than it use to.

Are the headlights a custom job? What exactly is going on behind those clear lenses?

Yes..we repainted in slate gray 615 rather than the original metallic slate gray. It was getting repainted so I figured I would paint it the color I wanted. Not concerned about resale value since I keep my cars.
Yes made some custom headlights to mirror the four point modern porsche lights. I understand that the daylight driving 4 points are a bit bright. Just ordered some dimmers so we can tone them down a bit.

My 930 needs a new paint job in the worst way and I so want to paint it this color. The original color is Shwartz Metallic on mine. That Slate Gray is a stunner though.

Love the McQueen 930 in this color...
Let me know if you need the Glasrit formula. Took a little bit to find the correct one for 615.
The guy painting the car has a 73 he owns and now wants to paint it this color too.
