This Project has turn out to be a . I finally found a day (saturday) to paint the BRT (buick Regal T-type). the body work is flawless, perfectly stright , and all the corners are clean cut.I can not find a fault in the preping work, just the color change this car has taking me two week of prep work in the body shop (friends). Yesterday i shot some of the painting cots (6 coats) and my buddie help me with the rest (12 coat). He`s a pro so i mine was at ease. i did not really like what the blue pearl did to the black, but i love what it did with the white (PPG color). In these two picture is what i am talking about.

the pearl seem to turn the black into a aqua color. I will see if the color take to my liking, or i will o for the black. This is project is 90% complete. With the hardest part complete (painting). I can now can start bolting all the parts back together. The car still have to me block sand with 1000 grite scoth 3M pad and buff. I can`t believe this paint process too 10 hours, with the best paint PPG has to offer. LOVE IT.....i will have to see about the color

what you guy think?

I like it....its different... It'll look 20x betta when you wet sand and buff and start puttin it all back together. Its always good to see some uniqueness when it comes to GNs/TTypes...Now all you have to do is get some big wheels and color match the centers to bring out that black/blue color and have polished lips.

What kinda intercooler is that ?
 
Really like how a blue over black gives more depth and variations to the color.
I just painted my Limited using stock white. Cleared.This was to save time and effort to door jams under trunk.All glass was out. I should have shot some white pearl for more depth. But I wanted to be able not to worry about paint. Think car looks great. Great job. You will love it,as it goes together.

Really cool and different. PPG and House of Kolor make some great colors. ;)
