Re: HELP!!! Blue two tone pics needed

Change it up a little. Do a dark blue like the factory color with a Pearl White. Audi has a great looking pure pearl white, not as yellow as GM White Diamond.

Hey that looks just like mine.... besides the primer in the usual places... Ya'know above the fenders Rocker panels. Although im thinking about taking it black and green two tone. And at the same time, Until it gets warm enough its going to be black with gray two toned primer. Something i havent seen yet.

Re: HELP!!! Blue two tone pics needed

My Big Blue after 4 hours of fun

front

driver side

rear

Size profile before Jasco Rust remover/ Primer used. Notice all the Cancer. Poor ole gal needed chemo

The engine compartment was not too bad besides the fact the old guy didnt know what a gasket was.

after cleaning



She was in a very dilapidated condition when i brought her home a few weeks ago Next is after body repairs and <3 Jasco <3 And about 4 hours of spraying. Yes i realize that the bed still needs sprayed(Using Rusoleum bed liner for it) along with the roof is lacking the last layer of black Primer.



closer shot of the tailgate



Driver side after


Frontish view


and dead on



I would appreciate any critiques You have to offer. I'm thinking of doing Black and Hunter Green, Instead of the Blue and white. I haven't seen the color combo And i have been actively searching different paint styles.
