Color change 😳

Ob917, looks great! The door jambs etc are painted, but what will be done with the engine bay and fronk areas? Will they remain original color, or painted later?

thanks man. Frunk is painted where it was black, it’s not really colored in there it’s factory gray primer sealer. As far as the engine bay anything obvious is painted the rest of it is covered in factory sound deadener etc. you can see some black but it looks normal. I wasn’t going to pull the engine for that.

Yeah I wouldn’t pull the engine out either. Sounds like the quality of the job is top notch and we all look forward to seeing it finished. Exciting!

I went to see the progress today. The attention to detail is pretty mind blowing, from the perfectly painted hinges to how the hood bolts and all the other hardware was painted. Mirrors and handles etc fully disassembled so that there is no way to tell they were ever black, inside the doors etc. Totally flat paint finish. I’ve worked in the auto industry all my life so it’s hard to impress me. I’m really impressed

This thing is AWESOME!
Doing anything else.in CF to go with the roof, like mirrors, hood, GT3 style pedestal wing?
I love the CF mirrors I have on my car and did CF stone guards to complement them. My rear upper wing is actually CF but a PO painted it body color. I'd planned to strip the silver paint off but don't want to risk dissolving the RUF rear wing.

Thank you, only the rear wing blade will be (is)matching carbon

The attention to detail that these guys have blows me away. Like painting random little panels before reassembly. I love it

This looks great, splendid colour combo!
Are you doing the center console and few small pieces in OB as well to match or seat belts ?
Now OB is 3 of 3 - 997 in that colour I have seen... uber rare!
