Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		I got a recipy for my cars color Blue grass wich is very accurate to the original paint.
Instead of metal flake they used PE (pearl effect) because the metal flakes are way to shiny and big - giving "toy car appearance"

Forget that "when all is done" stuff. It was beautiful even when it was in primer.

Location: Upplands Väsby, Sweden		You'll be impressed by the sheet metal work you've done. Renovation of the 413 engine.
And all the time spent on getting the undercarriage done before the paint job. Very nice color.
Hope to see IMPERIAL 59 conv in Live in the future
