Well "The General" is out of the paint shop and as promised here's photos of the work. OD Green purists may want to avert their eyes and look elsewhere. ![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The color is a custom-mix we call Sunset Red. The hue, depending on the light, goes from fire engine red to burnt orange, copper and candy apple. It was shot with a base coat of gold metallic, then a coat of clear candy apple and then a coat of clear. We had the brush guards, handles and mirror brackets powder-coated in silver, as well as the bumper.
The chrome trim on the clearance lamps are what were underneath all the layers of green paint. We found the chrome after soda blasting the marker trim. The horn was replaced with a chrome one, as well as a new exhaust pipe. Hope you like and hope it doesn't offend too many.
