Beautiful - thank you for sharing the images. Is that the regular formulation of Polaris, or an edited recipe? It could just be the lighting in the shop, but it looks ever so slightly "warmer" silver to me - IN A GOOD WAY. It really looks great! Congrats!

Thank you! Here’s a different angle. I didn’t take the pictures. I’ll take better pictures Monday when I see the car.

Thank you! I got to be honest, It gets frustrating at times that nothing is happening on it. But then again, that’s what big projects are like....

yes, a huge dose of patience is required. anything in a rush with these cars adds dollar signs quickly

Rex, beautiful job! I may take some heat for this comment but I kind of like those wheels, what are they off?

Thanks, but these are the wheels for the time the car is at the body shop. Not the wheels that are staying on. I think these are off a 74 coupe???

Dang, your coupe looks good! I’m glad it looks like yours, because one of the guys through the color was off and I was a bit worried. What year is yours?

 

[dang]

Mine is a '69 2800cs that was resprayed years ago before I owned it. I had some rust repair done when I bought it and the shop said the paint came out almost exact without making changes to the color. Polaris has always been an off-silver color, especially when you see it need to a newer BMW silver, so some people think it looks a little darker.

Fisrt time in the sun since paint.

Finally got to drive the coupe after 3 years (15 years since it was disassemble and parked by PO)
