It's been so long since I worked on my Bugeye that it's starting to turn green up here in the damp northwest .

.....Just kidding. I'm working on the bonnet structure now, but here's some photo's of the paint I put on in September. It's single stage urethane from TCP Global. I ordered the paint from them because they had the original paint chip of this color and I wanted to see how it looked. The paint itself went down well so I decided to go ahead and paint the bottom, engine compartment and interior. That way I was able to get the tub down off the rotisserie and be done with it. I've read nothing but positive reviews about this company, and it's paint, so I felt confident that the paint would be good enough for these areas. I'll probably still use PPG for the outside of the car just because it's such a proven product. But if anyone was looking for a report on TCP Global paint I'll give 'em a thumbs up.
regards
Mark
