Pics- paint is on the Cougar.

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.

A gorgeous color on that  Cougar. Looks like you got a great finish too. Did you shoot straight from the can? 

[Belugawrx]

Nice paint man, are you goin to clear it ?

[Geno]

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.
