Tom, your matching of the one year bright blue interior is an accomplishment not to be overlooked. The aftermarket interior stuff in that color is notoriously different shades. Do you have a formula for the accurate color you ended up with? Also wanted to ask if you guys use any of the electric or pneumatic color sanding systems or if you still rub by hand and what final grit do you like to use? This blue on blue W66 should be a stunner!

Your correct, the blue sold is just too different. Unfortunally this is a custom mix that was matched. I can easily duplicate it again with alittle time. We do still hand sand. We have noticed that using a trizac type sanding on the clear leaves "pig tails" aggrivates the crap out of me. So its the old fashion way for us. Thanks !!!! |

It's getting close. This has been four years in the making. It started at Jason's Transformation Restorations (he is in prison now making new friends) and rescued by Tom.  |
