Emerald
Amaranth Violet with matching pearl orange lettering would be my choice, but I'm a bit conservative ...

First stage: load shell into booth & mask it down to the floor. We're covering up the outer panels as these will be painted all in one, hence the rest of the car is taped up to only reveal the areas we want to paint.

Thanks. In the end we decided that #4 was going to be a show car, so a show car colour it had to be. Besides which, we like orange with our cocoa.

The clear coat lacquer has just been shot over the orange base and is on bake cycle in the booth, I'll try and take some more photos before I go home once it is cool enough to go in.

Wow! Wasn't expecting orange...!

Well - if you don't have a buyer by the time its completed, maybe you could throw a few black vinyl stripes over it, head east & see if Danny Graham will buy it!

Can't wait to watch the rest of the build.
