Finally, after more than 3 month's work, I managed to start painting the Oddy
on 6/1/03.
~Influenced~ by Sandra, I wound up with metallic
blue
color + clear coat. Few days prior I've decided to paint 2
white stripes on blue base. How come ? Back in 1999, during a business trip to
Detroit, I had the opportunity driving a blue Dodge Viper
with white stripes. V10 engine, 450 hps, 6 speed manual trans ... quite a
car. Long story short, that style's what I wanted. Let's do it.
 
I started painting the front bumper. Then I made my way to the back bumper.
 
It was already late evening on 6/1/03. Sandra couldn't wait to see the first
results.
Now the stripes ...
 
I was using tape to protect blue from white paint .

Last thing missing is the clear coat. Stay tuned. |
