Looks awesome!  I hope all your panels match when you've done them separately in a 3 stage pearl.

Wrong. Was going to go for this but went for an orange very close to it.

I wish i could of done them all in one go but i just dont have the space. It should 'hopefully' come out good. I don't see why not as there is stil body shops that spray them separate. As long  spray the same amount of coats of pearl in the same way on each panel it shouldnt be noticable. when doing a whole car you need to spray entire length of the car in one go to prevent build up on pearl in areas where you start and stop you strokes. so as its in bits i dont have to worry of overlap...

You also have to watch your gun distance between panels.  Close means the flake sinks more, further away and the paint is near dry when it hits the car so it stays on the surface and you end up with a different colour.  Looking at what you've done its obvious you have a good idea what you're up too so I'm sure it'll look awesome. (love the colour btw)

[Mopeytitan]

Hopefully it'll come out good. Just waiting between base coat and pearl now on rear clam. Will have a few pics of that when tomorrow when I get it out.

Is it lotus burnt orange? Looks nice.

Nope. It is actually Ford Electric Orange. I really wanted Arancio Borealis but the company that supplied the paint couldn't make it :sad: but he said the electric orange was very close with less pearl. Originally ford put 2 coats of pearl and I've put 3 to get more depth to the orange.

Awesome dude, glad you went with orange

Cheers mate, hopefully have it all back together soon. I'll have to get it up your way for a ride out with you some time...

[Mopeytitan]

Got the front clam and roll bar cover painted and fitted some new hoses to replace those naf clear things!

 

Few more pics taken with the rear clam placed into position to check the colour match. Fortunately they do
