Notes: |
1.) Black paint with gloss reducer is PPG
Urethane with flatener (Concept or Global).
PPG rep recommends VW black |
|
|
|
1.a.) Actual original GM paint has a milky blue/
green tint. I will have custom mixed
to match original black piece |
|
|
|
2.) POR15 Glisten is a clear metal sealing
product and is preferred to keep the exact original appearance |
|
|
|
3.) Originally, rearend was only painted from
behind after assembly. Front side not
painted at all |
|
|
|
|
3.a.) Duplicating original look requires
painting pumpkin, tubes, backing plates and then painting backside with black |
