    It looks remarkably close to the color of my 2010 Challenger R/T Classic (may she rest in peace). It looks like it may be a "generic" version of the MOPAR "Plum Crazy Pearl" that they use now (rather than the vintage PCP).

    It looks FANTASTIC on your car, regardless!

    Great looking custom! I like the "marbleizing" you did on the dash.. cellophane wrap?

    Thank you very much. It's actually crushed velvet. Spray adhesive and patience.

    Well I wasn’t happy with the way the paint came out. Clear coat sucked and the color was a little too purple for me so I sanded down and started over. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Yup, make sure you're happy with it. Careful with the overspray though; you got some on the driveway (not a big deal), but dude.. you got it all over your fence!! :eek::D

    Haven't got that far yet, but I saw something on Pinterest where the bezels were sitting proud of the front of the fender. This is the pic that I saw.

    So detail heavy, and so nice.

    Just curious, What are the odds for the future?
    I) Call it finished and enjoy
    II) Constantly refine/morph
    III) Move on to the next project

    With that degree of detail, where do you go from here?
