Hmm what are you up to Lars

Will it be a factory colour or something new?

It will be a color mixed by myself, haha

Dark purple with tiny pink metalic flakes as a base, and a purple pearl as a top coat! :shock:

The car did after 28 years have a lot of small dints, and I got tired of looking at it...
Thought it would be a good time for something expensive and flamboyant.
My first plan where to repaint it in Nissan Midnight Purple 2.
But at the cost of £500 per litre it turned out to be too expensive.

Pics will be published when it is repainted! :P

Looks great. Can't wait to see the finished new coat outdoors.

How are you going to work with the maroon interior? Will it clash or will it be fine?

I think the interior will look much better now, than with a silver car...

The final grinding process with wet sandpaper is done now...
Tomorrow it's back into the paint booth again for the last layer of paint and a few layers of clear coat.
