The color has been mixed. This is a shot under day light. The color matches the original color (In the square; upper right corner of the part). The paint is supposed to come as a single stage paint, but Ken managed to have the color mixed as a base to make it a dual stage system (Base coat + clear coat). A basic white will be applied, followed by two base coats. After de-knobbing, 2 or 3 clear coats will be applied.

This is in the painting booth. The color has a hint of green. The French color name is Blanc Carrare (White from Carrara) but it is actually a light green.


The auxiliary lights, dash, air intakes and fuel door have been painted and clear coated.
