They started on the little pieces today...closest thing to real color is the one of the parts in the booth under the lights....everything changes color outside...really nice, soft cream.

Oh, no clear on the paint yet!

That's got to feel good, Tony. Quite the exploded assembly of car bits, butsoon it'll be a full car again.

I like the color choice -- very different from most TDs one sees.

Color is Sequoia Cream - R& M Paint #YL5

Went down to take some additional photos today but my digital camera went TU....its on its way to Olympus for repairs! 7-10 business days before I get it back...everything will be painted, cleared, buffed & ready for assembly by the time camera gets back!

Tony:

That is a very nice color, IMHO the single tone is sweeet...
