    in black primer.

    Edgar, Jack, Eric, Chris, Julio, and #2 at Starlite Rod and Kustom(Torrance, CA) busted *** to make some body repairs and spray some new color on my car just in time for Primer Nats. The roof is a pearl white, with a bit of blue. It's cool, you can see a blue haze when the sun hits it just right. The body is sort of a light metallic blue. It's actually a bit darker than in this photo. Next up, maybe some scallops.....

    here's the before and after shots

    Looks F-ing great. Don't get me wrong, I like flat black, but it's nice to see it done a little different once and a while. Can't wait to see some scallops on it.

    you going to do the scallops in the roof color? Add more pearl to the scallops so it becomes a 3 tone blend and not exactly the roof color, and a bit more ghosty. will look ***s! although it looks damn good as is too!

    thanks for the compliments.

    Again, the guys at Starlite Rod and Kustom deserve the props for the work. All I did was point at a paint chip.

    I second this opinion. P*** on the scallops, will look overdone. Looks great now.
