color is called light ocean blue metalic
me being a surfer like yourself i think its
a good color for a surf wagon no waves here
in the mountains though may have to move
back to the beach i reckon :wink: :wink:
Hey Jay, I noted that you are using Silver as a base.
Is it a clear that you are adding the Blue metalic to ????????
Then a standard clear over the top ?

Thanks DR :wink:

Yeah Harko limited time during the day now
with the cold setting in you have to work quick

Mick i had it all tucked away pretty early
it just gets to cold :( not as cold as your place though :shock:

Finny just using a straight silver group 2 base then the blue
metalic over that and the last couple of coats will do a 75/ 25 color clear mix
then 4 to 5 coats of clear :)
