Hmmm... maybe I can the request to run 17's in at the same time I ask to tub the rear end and switch the car to RWD. Maybe the ITAC would overlook the wheel request?
Thanks Kevin, I know you think I'm crazy for building it but I think it will be a spectacular and competitive car for the class. Hell, it's not like I've got the mad-skillz to be on the podium at the ARRC anytime soon even if I had kept the CRX!

You know, I have no idea if it's a two step metallic... honestly didn't think to ask.
It wasn't appreciably more expensive to use this paint than any of the other paints I looked at...

Very nice...the plan for my CRX has always been to move from the stop-gap rattle-can black on my car to Kinetic Blue Pearl, which is one of the current TL-S colors. I've had the paint since last September and just haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Good luck w/ the project, guys!

Metallic / pearl paint on a race car?
I use 'work truck white' on mine. Leaves more duckets for parts and entry fees, and there is a can of touchup paint at every hardware store in North America.
get your paint color matched to vinyl or a very close color. You appreciate it down the road :026:
I can get it in rattle-can for quick touch up. I also have a gun/compressor at home and could so minor work on it myself. I figure for any more major damage, it'll go to CMS for bodywork and paint anyway.
I worked on the cost estimates for paint with both CMS and Bernard (the paint guy)... it wasn't appreciably more for the paint I wanted vs. doing the entire car/cage/tub in a base white

They have a point...don't do this:
Candy apple green (3 coat process after primer)(color source: House of Kolors, then customized) over a Toyota metallic...just the darn taping took nearly 8 hours.
But the metallic aspect is easy...

Oh no, no, no, no. I'm not going to do anything nearly that labor intensive. The car is going to be all one color and anything else it gets will be vinyl. I toyed with the idea of going white for the whole thing and then just getting it vinyl "wrapped" once every year or two. In the end the vinyl started to sound like more trouble than it was worth.

Recvd some more photos... these show the beginning of the white base coat going on.
The fender still has some cosmetic rust repair that will be taken car of before final paint work is completed. The rear fenders will also be "rolled" per IT rules. Also, notice the end of the custom rear Speedway swaybar mount.
Below is a good shot of the rear swaybar mount again along with a good view into the rear cage area. The massive hole is where the fuel cell will be mounted.
The top coat of paint should be going on shortly!
