The 50 has paint, real paint!!!

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by North Bay Shoebox, May 8, 2007.

  1. I finally painted my 50 over the weekend, a long two day process. It took me almost two years to get to this point, but it paid off in the end. The paint is nexa autocolor, while the flames are House Of Kolor flake. I now have two weeks to assemble before I head off to Paso

    After seeing it with all that masking tape on it, I would have been tempted to paint it seafoam green with pale yellow flames.

    Looks great. I like the flame position and color choice.
    I admire you for sticking to all that body work. Man i hate the finish work. Looks good.

    Awesome job! I love the seaweed flames. Where do you do your painting? Are going to be able to see the car in Nor Cal before or after Paso?

    Its looks really good great job..
     
  22. The color isnot off a chrysler it is off a volkswagon. I have had the colors picked out for almost two years and most people did not like the combo but now that it is on the car it looks exacly like i thought it would. I do my painting in the easy bay and i will be around at various shows during the summer, just looking forward to taking it out. thanks
