Rgruppe Monterey or Bust!    

Impossible schedule '73 911 Outlaw

April 22, 10 days to go

Body in blue

With all the midnight photos it's looking like a clandestine operation.  But the darkness is appropriate since that's when most of the work is being done.  Unfortunately the shell's new color is a little washed out by the light.  It's indeed a beautiful Gulf Blue. There will be plenty of time for daylight photos later.

The shell is painted in full.  This was the single largest part of the project and its completion is a major milestone that I am celebrating with a favorite German malt beverage as I type.

The painting took substantially longer than planned.  However, the quality of this project was not to be compromised by the accelerated schedule.  The level of finish and detail is actually substantially better than original plan.  The attention to detail is evident in the pictures.  The shell has turned out just great.

The paint chosen is Dupont Chromaone. It's a single stage that is very high quality and should last a long time.
