Re: Paint progress
The color is called Burnt Orange, it's not my favorite color but it is correct for the car. The car is a 71 RS Z28 with black stripes. With The combination of the black stripes and black guts the car should look pretty good when done. As we all know, done is directly related to time and money.
I would like to thank Bruce for his picture posting tutorial he has posted here on this site. By following his easy to understand directions I able to get my pic's posted with no problems. Thanks Bruce!

Re: Paint progress
Mike- I think your Burnt Orange Z is gonna be killer. You can see red, blue, green, Z's fairly often, but B. Orange is striking and unique. Mike's car is all about details. I got to see his remarkable work up close not too long ago and I was impressed! Glad to see you are making progress at the paint shop Mike. (Glad I didn't have to hear about your "progress" on the evening news
 )This is what he will be stuffing in the front of the car when it gets bounced from paint jail!!!

Re: Paint progress
Looks great!
 That car is going to be real sharp when it's done. Maybe I'll see it in person.

Re: Paint progress
Ed
The engine hooks on my 27K mile LT-1 Vette were brush painted (as well as the manifold) with aluminum silver paint. Under the silver paint the hooks are a raw metal that has a brown/black coloring to it. The silver paint was put on to cover the orange over-spray on the intake and t-stat housing plus keep the bare steel on the heads from rusting. The spark plug wire stands on the Vette were brush painted with chevy orange paint. In an effort to match my original LT-1 Vette I elected to leave my hooks a natural steel color. IMO they were not painted orange.
