Time to Graduate #8013, Azula

[kgkeys]

I think it's time to graduate Azula (#8013). I've had her together and back on the road since July, but I just finished some paint touch-ups that give me confidence in calling it done. I put 3k miles on her in gelcoat and I've put another 3k miles on it since July.

[Edit: The color started out as Lincoln Midnight Blue, but it wasn't dark enough for me. After two rounds of darkening, this is what we ended up with.]

Way to go!! I keep telling myself that one day this will be me. ;)

I love the smooth hood. I'm thinking of doing mine that way as well...

Fabulous color! Reminds me of Antimatter Blue: almost black in the shade, pops in the sun.

Fabulous color! Reminds me of Antimatter Blue: almost black in the shade, pops in the sun.

I actually had a sample of Antimatter Blue sprayed out, before I went to Midnight Blue.
