Terryg Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) I want to see the remainder of the build which will be tricky without showing the colour. So as in the news, if you don't want to know the result, look away now. Edited March 29, 2023 by Terryg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbobalobox Posted March 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Also there’s been a bit of a delay with the wheels frustratingly, so not sure when they’ll be ready (could be another few weeks 😭) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbobalobox Posted March 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 Appreciate it might not be everyone's taste, but I think it looks really good and even better in the flesh. The guys painting it have done a really good job - the finish is like glass! In the different lights it looks soooo different too. Looking forward to getting the accessories/trim back on 😎 I didn't actually go for exactly any of the colours I posted - I ended up basing it on one of them and adding some more gold to give it a better 'fleck', which should also be complimented by the gold badges. If I had decided to change the colour of the trim to a lighter colour I probably would have gone for one of the more bold colours (red/blue), however as I was keeping it black it always had to be a consideration. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 "We asked one hundred people, and they said... YEAH 👍 " I wondered if it would be green as I thought that would be one of the only colours that could suit the red dragons. You will now suffer the same as some of us (my orange, Gutley's blue etc) that you have to take 12 photos of your car and pick which one if any actually represents the colour correctly to the viewer. I have a whole load of pics of my car for memories but I don't put them here as the light sensor and the colour processor can't really work out what is going on. Hope it all keeps going in the right direction for you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 That's a LOT of fleck, to the point I'd be saying House of Color pigment used ! But I think you have the body lines to pull that off with style.😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
