The colour is called "Special Black" (DeBeer Paints), it is about as black as black can get and is full gloss. Hopefully should be back in the shed for fit up by the end of the week.

Been welding out the diff and etched it ready for the 2 pack finish. Torana frontend is also finished and ready for paint.

It doesnt surprise me in the least that you are painting it black.
For anyone who doesnt know, black is the colour that shows up even the slightest imperfection, so the body work has to be spot on.
Obviously with your talent this wont be a problem

Looking forward to seeing it.

You will need that air con with a black car. And a life time supply of cleaning and polishing materials.
Great progress.
