Geno Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Finally had weather warm enough to get the color shot. I think it's a pretty close match. Next is getting the chassis and interior ready for paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillyb1 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 A gorgeous color on that Cougar. Looks like you got a great finish too. Did you shoot straight from the can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belugawrx Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Nice paint man, are you goin to clear it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Thanks guys, yes Curt, it's straight from the can. I always sit it in a bowl of warm water for awhile. The paint flows a lot better when it's warm. Bruce, you got it. I'll get it cleared and polished after I let the paint cure for a couple of weeks.
