Going to repaint to a non-stock color

[mbeach]

That looks awesome, its a great color! I noticed they painted the door jam copper color, where mine is black. I like that too, wonder why they decided to paint that part in black to begin with.

Love it!
That really looks great.

I think the B-pillar area is painted dark so that it blends the side windows together. I know that on the I-man, when the windows were tinted dark, it looked really good. It is a fingerprint magnet though.
I have some Dragonplate carbon fiber veneer on the way (for another project), I was going to use the scrap to cover this black area.

Carbon fiber's a great idea! I didn't mean to get those painted, actually but they were so scratched up, and I was so new to the VX that I didn't know they weren't supposed to be painted (since mine was ebony so they were black anyway). So I didn't make it clear to my paint guy that they should be masked and repainted black. But now I kind of like 'em that color. I dunno.. I'll have to see how it goes from here.

Okay, here are some pix of the Copper Bullet the day after I got all the cladding back on, the morning I left for Moab. Those with sharp eyes will see in this and in the VX only run Moab pix that I still haven't got the stickers on. Sorry for the delay, but I have had a very full time of it since I had to leave Moab early for family reasons.

Here it is from the right:

And here it is coming off of Gemini Bridges at Moab:

Looks great! Even better dirty. Reminds me of '72 911 blood orange.

Very nice.

Did you do most of the work or farm it out? Can you give a rough number of how much it cost? Not that I'm gonna paint my ebony anything but black, but I may need fresh black someday and I've learned I'm no good with paint.

I can't wait to paint my Ebony... I should have gotten the proton but it was not available when I got mine... :-) Im thinking Ferarri RED! ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!
