September 24, 2005 - Car gets rolled into paint booth

So, the car gets ready for paint and we bring it down to his shop with the downdraft booth for a better finish.

The color choice is IBM - '99 FD Innocent Blue Mica.

On the exterior, I'm going to use some gold pearl as well, but we voted against it in the engine bay as it doesn't do justice w/out sunlight.

I went with a base coat/clear coat combo and three coats of clear for added protection against oils/fuels/etc. All PPG products.

Did throw a little airbrush of 1320 on the firewall in gold pearl as thats the group of guys I used to/still do hang out with and this car is something that'll be around forever. Just one of those personal things I guess.


We also cut the Intercooler pipe holes larger, smoothed it all out, etc. Really anything I could think of to make this easier later on.
