OhMonte Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Green Mist Metallic with a 1 & 1/2 gallon of clear from House of Kolor. In for black vinyl top this week. Will post pics as we progress. Car has new quarters, fender patch panels, and rear window lower metal all replaced. Stay tuned for more.... (this is my first time posting pics, I hope I did it right...) Enjoy! Joe.

Wiham Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Nice shots.. love the color..Interesting primer color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhMonte Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Thank you The metallic is wild-- no two pictures of it look alike. Depending on the light, I have about 20 shots that make it look 20 shades of green. The fourth picture of the car above ( shot of the passenger side and trunk) is probably the truest color. I love 'em all. And what lines! The primer/sealer had a blue/green tint applied to jive with the green base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhMonte Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 The upholstery guy said not to paint the roof because the glue they use to put on the vinyl can pull the paint off over time. It seems kind of counter intuitive to not paint the roof as it would seem to add an extra layer of protection, but not so. It is just primed with an epoxy primer.

OhMonte Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 I was wondering what the over/under was on the number of posts before the Anti-Green League came to the party. LOL See you guys at Carlisle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allchevy Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 color pops but i was told the opposite about painting before installing a top in fact when i took my old one off it was the same body color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Looks good! I see you stripped the paint off of the vinyl roof trim like 90% of us here do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
