Stopped by the shop today and the PPG rep was there. My plan was a white bumblebee stripe with pearl. He suggested that I think about a silver as most pearl has at least a hint of blue in it. So, after much discussion, I've landed on "Icing on Cake" silver for the stripe.

I hope when you get the car home and all finished off you only wash it once because you are spending so much time driving it getting bugs stuck in the grill and squished on the windshield  :icon_smile_wink:

Than the other way around spending more time washing it to keep it clean and fear driving it and getting it dirty  :brickwall:

My paint guy pointed out that my master cylinder was all rusty and asked if I really wanted to reinstall that over fresh paint. So, this arrived today.

I decided to try Eastwood's brake paint.

I wonder if I can spray this into my military gas tanks, to keep my filler neck from rusting out ??

The reassembly takes a surprisingly long time.
