"Tweety Bird" Revealed!!
Hi Pat! The hat and the shirt were a gift. The golfing knickers and socks was mine. Bad idea! lol.. However, I might wear them again, but probably not the socks. After I wore those socks, I had a ring around my upper leg where the elastic band was. It stayed there for some time. They were made in China and probably had lead in them! Or something else.
I just came back from seeing Tweety Bird in all her glory in the sun! With the sun out brightly, she looks lighter in color than she did yesterday in the dark, overcast sky. We opened the doors and compared the interior yellow of the seat covers to the exterior paint. It looks like a pretty close match to me. We know that if you look into the interior with the windows up, or through the windshield or back window, that you get a different effect because of the tinted windows. Joe said he is getting a lot of very positive comments about her from customers. His wife also pronounced her to be beautiful. He said that was high praise from his wife because if she did not like her, she would have said so!
Joe told me that they put 3 coats of white base on and 2 coats of white pearl. They put 8 coats of yellow base on and 2 coats of yellow pearl. Then they put 3 coats of polyurethane clear on her. They used polyurethane PPG paint products. They do not use enamel or water based paints.
I brought by two of my yellow painted rims I picked up today to compare paint colors. My rims are to bright, and do not match up well. The guy who sandblasted them and painted them used rattle can Krylon Sun Burst paint. Joe said to bring the other three on Monday and they will paint all five of them with my yellow paint to make them match the car.
Here are another pic or so of what she looks like today. To us, she looks lighter in color than she did in that overcast of yesterday. I notice that with the sun reflecting off the pearlescent effect, in areas where you see that, it looks duller when viewing the pictures. But the pearlescent effect sure is striking! If you look down the sides that are in the shade, she shines brightly! Joe said she will change in color and brightness depending on the time of day, weather conditions or lighting you are under or near.

the white "collar" around the cowls and tops of doors was a great idea and it looks awesome. you gotta be super happy with her ray, congratulations again!
I decided to put it on the display board that Anders is having made for me.
