The blue is from a New Mini, A74, Oxygen Blue. It's very similar to the original colour of the car.

[Grumbler]

Don't ya just LOVE the smell of fresh car paint! Looks great!

[60widewhitez]

Keep us posted.. I like it.. Neat combo...

[1lucky1]

Wow, sick color combo!

[Workdragon]

Nice work! Was this your first paint job? What type of paint is that? I want to know everything. Come on...out with it.

[charlieb66]

The most interesting thing about the colors and combination thereof is the comments that it will generate when you take it to a car show. I can say this because of the color of my car. DARE TO BE DIFFERENT.

[Mr.Musico]

looks good!

[bryceaugustine]

i would never have picked those colors myself but they do look amazing. nicley done sir.

No, it's not my first paint job, I work at a Body Shop as a painter. It's Standox Standohyd Base coat with Dupont ChromaPremier 72500S clear. I used a Sata 3000 RP with a 1.2 tip for the base and a Sata 4000 RP with a 1.3 tip for the clear.

The gold is a Toyota colour. The code is 580, but I don't remember the name right now.

[kuztomklaus]

Thank you for giving me a complete answer (paint type, tip used etc). I love seeing the time, dedication and effort of those that dedicate their lives to achieving greatness in this particular art form. Love it..

[robertsregal]

Looks Great and a good choice of colors!

[yetiskustoms]

an awesome milestone. the primer look is over rated!

Nice job on the paint job. I will be neat to see it back together.

[chaddilac]

Kan't spell... but you can paint!!! Nice!!!!!!!

[cakes]

I love the Blue, I think the gold might be a bit much, We'll see when you get it all back together

[goatboy]

nice paint quality, looks great, unique colors too !

[sololobo]

Super Sweet!! Good goin on the color combo. Hotcha Daddy!! ~sololobo~

[54pathfinder]

NeatO!!

[Von Rigg Fink]

unique

[kan't spell]

Thanks for all you encouragement. I had a few moments while I was painting when I wasn’t so sure about the gold but I’m defiantly happy with it now. I brought the car home late this afternoon.

[1951Streamliner]

Looks good. I was unsure about the gold, but i think it will look a lot better with the stainless and glass in.

I like the subtleness of the body modifications on your car. Cant wait to see it all put together

[31Vicky with a hemi]

Beauty !
I'm always happy when I put the sand paper away.

[Fortunateson]

KMS anyone? Kind of reminds be of the W. Blue Bombers. I'll be looking out for it.

[sierra rod shop]

Ya it does. The Americans have no idea what your taliking about.

[50 customcoupe]

Your car looks GREAT...I love that color combo...that gold top done the trick...

[Hdonlybob]

NICE NICE NICE
Always love a car where the owner is not afraid to try something out of the box..
You hit a home run there in my opinion !!
Good job.
Cheers.......

[motoandy]

Looks great in the sun! hurry up and finish already

[Squablow]

I didn't like it until I saw the outside pics, now I do. Reminds me of that Barris chopped hardtop, the second version with the bright colors, not sure what it was called but it's got a very similar look to it. Should look real nice all assembled.

I believe your thinking of the second version of Father Larry Ernst’s Chevy. It was one of the ones that inspired me to do something a little crazy with the colour.

[halloweennight96]

Looks FN bad ass man. Love it.

[Smokey2]

Mr. can't spell...........I told my buddies, "That looks TOO GOOD !

I used one of those foam rollers and my wife's hair dryer.

[Nads]

A strange combo that works on every level, you nailed it.

[Killer32]

Sweeet!!!

[jaymann]

I dig it! I'll have to put that blue in my memory bank for later

[jhutch713]

Congrats, be proud of the accomplishment, I really like the colors too, and it'll really come together with all the stainless and chrome to top it off. Good luck on the rest.

[55glyde]

Too bad your address isn't "1951"! love the colors, squat and black steelies. Keep the pics coming... subscribed!

[mj40's]

Sometimes we take chances and your colors look great. Never would have thought of this combo. I also can't wait to see it done.

[jcmarz]

you all need to see the eye doctor because that is one ugly color combination.

[Fortunateson]

All of us? Perhaps it's the other way around? LOL The jury has spoken!

[uc4me]

I think it'll look good once the trim is installed

[pbr40]

That is one beautiful ride

[vividlyvintage]

I absolutely love that blue!

Your car is sick. I love the colors and that its unique. Whats the name of the gold? looks alot like a bike I built.

[ModelAPunk]

Look good man, love the gold!

[theHIGHLANDER]

If this is a "what do you think" post, I'm not feelin it. Looks like good work on a well done car, by the description it was done right. Charcoal grey flake on the roof would be better. Anything but white or silver, or perhaps gold. I don't think it's a lost cause, and by you saying you weren't sure about it at 1st speaks toward the basis of my comment. To pull it off completely I'd paint the wheels the same color as the roof and make sure it gets some pinstripes that bring the roof color to the rest of the party. I don't think it's butt ugly, and I don't think I'd do it, and I've done some shit that had me 2nd guessing before, during, and especially, after! Still, it's really nice work. I know the feeling all too well. Just sayin, and I don't mean to offend.

[beachbum jim]

i wasnt sure about the color combo either, but I think its really gonna look awesome!!!

Ya I Know! But I had the house before I got the car. I will post some more pics but It's going to take a few weeks till it starts to look any different.

Thanks for your input. I’m actually surprised but how few negative responses I’ve gotten. I had been thinking about painting the wheels the same color as the roof. I’m going to running full wheel covers so that little bit of gold between the wheel cover and the white wall might tie the whole thing together nicely.

[fordnutz]

Not a fan of 2 tone roof and body, but can't fault the bodywork and paint. Nice fit and finish. As for color, it would be pretty boring if we painted them all the same color. Congrats on a job well done. Pat

[66Newport]

I love it! It isn't a color combo I would have oringinally picked, but after seeing it done, it is truly stunning! Nice job, and I think you should do the wheels the color of the roof. It would look killer.

[Squablow]

Exactly the one I was thinking of, and a great car to take inspiration from. If someone just described a car to me in light blue with a gold roof, I think I'd hate it, but seeing it in the pictures, I think it'll look great when it's finished. Especially if all of the visible mods to the car are kept in the same period.

I'm excited to see what it looks like with trim in place.

[bbbronc]

I think it looks great, colors and all. +1 on the wheels

[falcongeorge]

Nice color combo. Be interesting to see this one.

[sodaturk]

Nice color choices. I think that your car is "your car" doesn't matter one anyone thinks as long as you like it. I've painted to of mine crazy color combos with lace and fades...lots of gold too. I love the blue and the gold that you chose. That car would look good solid in either of those colors, but the two-tone is your unique choice. All that being said-nice job!

[bonez]

Love it. Something that could have been done in the bomba crowd.
Chrome and glass is gonna pull it all togheter, leave the wheels alone for now.
Fat Thumbs up!

Sorry it took so long but I finally remembered to look up the name of the color. Its a stock Toyota color called Yellow Effect, color code 580.

[bbbronc]

You get any of the trim on yet?

[kan't spell]

Originally Posted by bbbronc

Nope, not yet. I had a couple touch up I needed to do and I still need to do some polishing.

[droptop 63]

Paint work looks awesome. Put me down as another die hand fan of gold and the different shades of it Azter, Olympic, etc. My droptop is a variation of this color.

[kan't spell]

Progress had been slow, but it’s coming together nicely. Hopefully my windshield and part of my grill show up soon.

[slammed]

Closer indeed. Can you snap a pix in full sunlight?

[KustomCars]

Sweeet!

[BadLuck]

love this car! whats the story with the light above the bumper? Kinda cool... oh yeah, i 2nd the sunlight pics

It's my back up light. It was on the car when I got and I thought it was cool so I kept it. It says Electroline Modle 82 on the back of it. Originaly it had a small bar that ran across the face of the light but it got broken when I shipped it to the chromer. I've tried looking for info on it but haven't had any luck.

[bbbronc]

Looks great

[Irish Mike]

Nice...

[hooliganshotrods]

Wow man, that looks killer!! Love the colors. Nice work.

damn, i dig it! Little things like this set a car off.. something you dont see everyday.. well done.

[redlinetoys]

Interesting color combo!

[volvobrynk]

If you had told me forehand, I had set No! If you have showet me forehand, I had told you I hated them apart and together!
And now on the car, I love them together!!! And with the chrome, light and glass I can feel my blood rushing away from my head, "South-bound".

Keep up the good work!

[jcmarz]

Go Bruins

[hotskins]

Man I love that blue, even the gold works with it nicely. I can't wait to get to that point on my car. Thanks for the inspiration, can't wait to see the finnished product.

[60galaxieJJ]

bold color choices.....i love it!!!!

[kan't spell]

Thanks guys.


I was trying to put together my vent windows the other night when I discovered I’m missing a couple pieces! I need the little pivot point piece that rivets to the frame that holds the glass. I’m also missing the push pins that fit in the vent window handles.


Anyone have any of these they don’t need?

[53chevtrev]

Car is looking really nice man! Cant wait to see it around the lower mainland!

I was tring to have it together and running to take to Ocean Park Ford in Sept. but I found out last night the show is on Aug 4 this year. So... we'll see....

[2935ford]

Man, you throw down some nice paint!

[sr808]

I like it!

[Blake84]

Wasn't sure at first pic in thread and by last pic I loved the color combo! Great job can't wait to see complete with wheels painted and glass etc

[kan't spell]

I'm starting to understand how some projects go unfinished for years. Nothing has been going smoothly. My windshield finial arrived this week, in the wrong province ...and broken. I was going to put in the quarter windows today but the new rubber gaskets don't fit very nice. I still haven't found the pieces for my vent windows that I'm missing. The top piece of my grill was located and a friend of mine was going to pick it up this weekend, hopefully it's OK. Oh well it’s all nothing more money won’t fix. I feel a little better now after venting.

[slammed]

Maybe detail the trunk, or door jams 'till the gremlins simmer down.

[EnragedHawk]

Man, I know it's been said, but those colors are awesome!

[kan't spell]

Ya. I hear what your saying. I started working on a licence plate bracket for the front after things just weren’t working out for me.

[slammed]

My avatar was a beach last month as well. I left her alone, then slid up real easy like one day to get re-aquatinted. And the gas gauge has not glitch'd once since. Then the billet/urethane carrier bearing installation-bingo smooth as ice. Next up: peel and seal the interior. Good luck in the next task.

[HawgHead]

How in the world could anyone think those two colors go together!! I really want to hate that paint scheme, but for the life of me I just can't. When I look at the gold roof and the blue body separately, they just don't go, but when I look at the car as a whole it looks great, I can't explain it.

I do however think one of the previous posters is right in that I'd paint the wheels the same color as the roof and bring the roof color down into the body with some pinstripping. I'm really looking forward to seeing her when she's all done. Great Job!

Scott

[patrick66]

I'm with Highlander on the idea of painting the wheels to match the roof. There is a local meat plant here in OK called Blue & Gold Sausage, and their packaging colors are a dead ringer for the colors on your car! Of course, the UCLA Bruins colors match, too!

I really like the way you've taken your Chevy. Unique, without being weird or fugly.

http://www.blueandgoldsausageco.com/products.html

[Blue One]

I have to say I like the colors and the car is looking very nice. Would be good to see it in person on one of my yearly jaunts out to the west coast.

[kan't spell]

I went down to Puyallup this weekend and saw this.



I was kinda surprised to see another blue car with a gold roof! It's going to be like flat black with red wheels now.

[kan't spell]

I picked up the pieces I needed fro the vent windows from the chrome shop today! So now I can put the doors together. I put the grill on last night and got the hood to latch right. But I'm still waiting for the windshield.

I applaud your choice of colors and willingness to go out on the limb to be different. I have attached a better photo of the Larry ernst clone to show the colors better. Barris was also bold to lead the way with colors, much to the betterment (in most cases) of Kustom cars. Hope to see your car in person one day especially with all the trim (jewelry) back on it.

You took the words right out of my mouth! I agree with some stripes of that roof color.

[jfrolka]

The colors are different but great! A nice set of very well polished full wheel covers like early sombreros or lyons caps definitily would favor the bright colors.

I like this car a lot, and am a huge fan of un-chopped 49-51 chevy business coupes.

Whats under the hood???

[BadLuck]

still LOVE this car! hey did you put new rubbers in the trunk yet? i got my two new ones for mine and have no idea how they go.. its two pieces and each one is different.. i know one is half the top and the other half the bottom.. but dont know which is which..my car never had them since i bought it.. thanks

I have a set of '50 Olds caps for it that I was going to be running. But I've been thinking about getting a set of the '57 Lancer Caps for it. The ones with the original gold night in the center not the bullets.

What do you guys think?

It's got a straight 6 with the 3 speed in it still.

I have a buddy coming over tomorrow morning to help me take off the trunk lid so we I can put on the weather strip. Mine came with instructions so I’ll scan them later to night and post if for you. But the longer one goes on the trunk lid, down the sides and around past the latch and the shorter one goes in the trunk jamb under the back window.

[kan't spell]

Hear ya go BadLuck. My kids stopped screaming so I got it done this afternoon.

[n847]

needs some stripes and gold leaf! I dig it!

[BadLuck]

dude you are THE MAN! thanks so much buddy!

[Buddy Palumbo]

It certainly is an interesting color combo , that's for sure . I can't wait to see the finished product .

[kan't spell]

Progress has been slow the last little while. I did get a little work done today and it was a nice sunny day so I snapped a couple of new pics.







I still need to finnish assembling the doors and the wipers and the finnish up the polishing and.......

Pretty awesome looking ride. Are you going to do any VonDutch or stripes of any kind?

[AdrianS]

Looks great! Go enjoy it now.

[poorboy]

dig the color combo!!

[chaddilac]

Those color absolutely shouldn't go together!!! But they do and they do it perfectly!!!

Good job on choosing those, now you got me looking at odd colors for my 51 chevy coupe!!!

[Moonequipt13]

Seeing all the Rhodies and other trees in your yard made me think you live in Washington! Looking good by the way

[flyin flattie]

I love the color.. feel like ive seen a car that looks like that

[Rikster]

I really like the color combination on this one. Stance is great to.
I hope you will NOT cover up all those smooth lines on the car with pin-striping.
The was it is gives me a feel like this car was built in the early 1950's and used as an ever day driver.
Very nice.

[hammered30]

How good does that look in the sun. nice color combo too

[56premiere]

I like it.makes me think it is from back in 'the day'. If you do stripe it,make it mild.Wanted to say subtle. jack

[t-towndave]

looks cool !!!

[Mike Britton]

I someone had told me what two colors you were going to use, I would have thought they wouldn't work well together. The car looks great!

[slowmotion]

Got my vote, two thumbs up! That style of Chevy coupe screams for a two-tone. Your color choice sets it apart (in a good way). I like it.

[Surfcityrocker]

One of the coolest cars I've seen in a while.
I saved all the pics that you posted on my HD.
The colour combo ist simply great!

Very nice.

Thanks Rik.
That's kind of what I had in mine for the car. I imagined it as an almost new car a younger guy would have had and done a few mild custom things to it with out spending a tonne of money on it.

I have thought about adding spot lights for that period correct look but I don't really like the look of them

I keep tripping over all my loose ends. It's the rainy season now anyway so as long as it's all done by spring I'll be happy.

[flyin flattie]

naw it just looks just like my car

[Tin Can]

I hear ya about the rebuild after paint going slow. Im still waiting on my taillights to come back from the chrome plater, so I have not been in a rush. Keep at it man, the car is turning out great!

I know. I found some pics of your car a few months ago and thought, Dang that looks like my car.

[Fat ASS Whitewalls]

Man that looks good! I'd paint the edge of the rim that you have black, red. That really sets off a car in my opinion. And it's traditional.

[KustomCars]

Awesome!

[cfish50chevy]

Great job. Love the colors.

Thanks. It's got the stock front end with cut coils and the droped Fat Man uprights. The rear is custom made leaf springs and blocks with Air bags on the stock rear end to lift it up when I need to.

[born in the wrong era]

Awesome Job! I dig it!

[psychobilly1963]

nice job bro, very original colors!!

[prefect20]

I love the colours, but then I would........I did a similar combination on my (English) '59 Ford, 4 years back. 2 great minds think alike

Adding the chrome and aluminium trim helps the colours match.

Adding the chrome and aluminium trim helps the colours match.

Thanks.
Your car look prety cool. Adding all the trim on mine has really made to colors pop.


Maybe we should start a club for only blue and gold cars.

Looks nice, take some time and enjoy it. Remember drive it like you stole it.

Thanks, the trim really does make the difference.

The club sounds great, but where would we meet?

Ya, it's a bit of a drive.... Even if we meet half way.

Where in Scotland are you? I was over there in ‘94, it’s a nice place. My mother-in-law is Scottish.

Well, a year after I painted my car it still isn't quite done. It's at a Mechanic I know's shop right now getting the engine tuned up and the interior is in boxes waiting for the car to come home.

These are a couple pics I took the other day. (before I got the wheel covers back from being polished)
