Default Re: Chevelle updates

I just picked up the two new sample panels from Bodyguy...but of course, we're inundated with liquid sunshine right now, so I'm again back to &quot;hurry up and wait&quot; mode. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

The last 3 projects I've done that managed to make their way to the paint booth were actually easy paint decisions...a `75 Monza hotrod that was painted black, my old Pro Street `67 Chevelle that was painted black, and my old `57 Chevy Sedan that was painted Torch Red.

I was 100% confident with my choice on each of those projects.

This project is an entirely different ballgame.

I'm intentionally trying to <span style="font-style: italic">avoid</span> having an end product that's so obviously &quot;non-stock&quot;. Since the onset I've leaned heavily towards Deepwater (as explained recently), esp. considering this isn't a numbers resto--in which case it would've went back to it's original Marina Blue with a Bright Blue interior.

I guess I was a little derailed when this sample of Deepwater seemed so far off from what my mind's eye remembered. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

I can't say yet with any certainty what my final choice will be until I can review these last two samples in good daylight, but I can say that the `66 Nightwatch is off the table, and the `67 Deepwater is still a very strong possibility.
