the car is being painted green. 🙂
Olive army super high gloss…
The cage and engine are being done a really dark bronze. MMMM…
This is what i did tonight… It’s as far from the reservoir as i can get it. May need a heatshield. The DP and mani are getting coated with swaintech white lightning. **The DP will be completely enclosed by the tunnel.**
