In the event that you haven't read it already, you may want to review Article 12 which provides an overview of the paint products that we used. Many thanks again to Sikkens for these products and persevering with me as we went through a process to arrive at "Deuce Odyssey Blue".

To arrive at the final, custom, colour, I started by identifying a colour in their Colormap book that was as close as possible to the colour I was imagining for the car (see Brightwork Auto Art rendering. The rendering was also used as a ROUGH guide). They then did a series of sprayouts, adjusting the colour between each sprayout until I was happy with the colour. This was a bit of a nerve-wracking process as you can only hope that the colour will work in application. It did thankfully.

To provide additional background, also review Article 20 relative to the body mofications / bodywork done before the body went for prep and paint.

Our thanks to Flavio Cruz for getting our body into (great) shape and to Dave Bell for finessing all the bits and pieces that needed painting and for laying down the colour, clear and polishing everyting out. Also, kudos to Dream Machines for taking care of painting the engine and transmission. Detailed photos below.
