Finally in color (paint) !!

It has been a long time coming .... EW1 in a single stage.
I tormented about the color for a few years but finally decided on factory EW1 in single stage. It turned out great! I decided not to go base coat clear coat opting for a single stage instead because I have been told that a single stage will give more depth on a solid non metallic color. They were right !

Looks great. I prefer single stage on most cars I restore.

My brother suggested it so I started looking at all the cars on the lot.. ( I sell hi end cars) and all the white cars look like they are behind glass ! No depth and kinda fake.... So
I took his advice and love the outcome! If I were to go metallic I might go BC/CC ... Not enough of a pro to say for sure...

BTW, those arcs you see on the driverside are reflections of the building.
