Imagine if I wasn't working!


If you can't get a Votec school to paint it, see if any DIY'ers here or on the Pelican Paint and Bodywork Forum would be willing to help..

yeah, that would be fine!
But I'm now thinking silver, and no need for it to even be a Porsche product.
In fact, I once tried to track down the color that I bought it as, and no one could figure it out.
It narrowed down to either Subaru or Audi, but there's clearly none other like it.
And for good reason!

I like the deeper silvers with a lot of metallic so that's what you should use. PPG, DuPont, or Sikken's will work fine. If you have more money than you know what to do with use Glasurit..
Actually, the color on my 12 GMC should work so do that.. bad picture, it's Gunmetal gray, lots of metallic.



Better example -

PlastiDip was the original plan. Would that work, out of a can? I do my wheels with that, works great, almost no prep.
