Too beautiful!!!....whats the color?

[Georgia Coupe]

Thanks everyone! I am really excited on how it came out. It is exactly what I was shooting for. The color is a blend of three House of Kolor Candy's. Candy Apple Red, Brandywine, and Root Beer. We sprayed up almost 20 samples before we hit the color I wanted. Can't wait to see it in the sun.

Got it home today and had it out in the sun for a bit. I can't believe how bright this thing is! Picture does it no justice.

Must be an imposter among us!

Wow! That is simply beautiful.

[Jacob McCrea]

Beautiful indeed! It reaffirms my decision to paint my own coupe Ducati red with white stripes. Thanks for taking the time to share these photos.

[Gale K]

Well done.

:eek: ohhhh, ahhhhhhh. Looks GREAT!

What color is the white? It really pops on that Red! Is it a silver basecoat under the red?

The white is the stock white that House of Kolor has. No other name than White. Yes, the base coat is Orion Silver.

Ryan, your build continues to look just amazing. Nice work!

I hope to join you on track one day next season, perhaps a late season visit to Road Atlanta or Atlanta MSP (if they ever finish it) or meet in the middle at VIR or Summitt Point.

I know it's a long haul, but will you please seriously consider coming up to SAAC 37 at Watkins Glen, June 7 - 9, 2012? There will be track time available, and based on what I have seen of your entire project I think the odds are strong that you'll win overall best in class for the replicas. My friend is a ****** nut and says this year is somewhat rare in that they will have show classes for replicas, not just concours originals and restorations.

Guys,
I thought I would post a pre graduation sneak peak pic of Coupe 510. Still have windshield to put in and the tag to put on (if it ever shows up from the DMV). Really sad to see the build coming to an end. I really enjoy this part. Maybe FFR will have a Christmas sale.

Ryan,

Nice look, like the mirror treatment. Note to self.

John

[Movieman]

I would say it's beautiful but thats an understatement.
Better to say "Brother did you hit it perfect"
Best of luck with this gem.

[rj35pj]

More beautiful pictures....more pictures!!!! :)

Are those the BRE mirrors? I think someone was using a similar style that isn't BRE...not sure what the difference is.

Looking NICE!!! Can't say it enough.

Marc

[Tpa65cpe]

Wow! Wow! Oh, by the way did I say WOW!! Looked at the photobucket album and I am very impressed with your accomplishment on this build! You nailed it!! Like how you kept to the same color scheme throughout the entire process. Sir my hat is off to you. Enjoy a BEAUTIFUL CAR that you have created!!!

Marc,
Not Bre's. Ended up using Kawasaki motorcycle mirrors. Look pretty cloe to the Bre, but only about $25 for the pair.

[firechicken]

WOW! Love how its coming out. Thats going to get a LOT of looks on the road.

[Jester]

Knockout color combo - Sure to be a classic!

Looking forward to more pics - engine, interior etc.

Considering the coupe as my next project - currently 1/2 way through my mk4 build.
Very well done!

[WIS89]

Holy thread resurrection Batman!!

Just saw this on the thread announcing the new POM contest, and had to bring it back.

This coupe is stunning! The color defies description. What an extraordinary job. I thought bringing the thread back would help others looking at the post.

Regards,

Steve
