                • I finally got to get the car out into natural light today, and damn this thing is blinding. In the sunlight it just glows, so it actually appears like a satin paint, because you cannot see any reflection in it at all. Infact, you cant stare at it directly, because the Glow is actually blinding, and you will cause you to see black spots for awhile.












                  Here you can see the difference between the position of the sun to your back, and how much difference there is.. I can tell you this, the camera cannot really catch it all, but this will give you an ideal

                  • Here are some pictures compared to an original Amazon, and a Delorean I have.. LOL












                    The Delorean has alot of the same glowing properties the Liquid Metal does, but the Liquid Metal is much more intense..

                    • It looks sooo evil from every angle. Love it. I didn't think some ideas will work out, for instance the tail lights. But the color sets it off so well that it makes them look like stock. The exhaust - killer. The wheels... Oh man when you showed the wheels and the color you're going to paint your car... Honestly, it looked like it will never ever match/fit each other. Blown away.

                        You arent the only one who had their doubts, because I had alot of emails and messages with advice on how I should do things differently.. LOL I tend to stick with an idea till the end, eventhough I might have my doubts also, because it is all good if you can literally say " I meant to do that ". Like or not, who can not give you props if you actually met your goal or vision? I appreciate the kind words, and I cant wait to get this car out in the show and race scene.

                        • Here are some pics of the Tail Light Lense layout. I used the oem tail light bezels by welding them on to the body, so I can get rid of the seam and bulky rubber gasket, so I still have the factory profile to the end of the quarter panel.. the Tail Light Lenses fit in the same position relative to the bezels, so nothing has changed there, other than altering the lenses to install from inside the quarter panels.. I will have a very small piece of weatherstrip/sealer between the edge of the bezel and the actual lense, so that will give transisition, and even out the gapping. The lenses are just set in place at this time, so they are not in their exact positions, but I think they will look great, because they are still the oem components and dimensions..

                          I personally think this mod should be done more, because it really doesnt take away from the car, and it is a relatively easy procedure if you in the body working stages.. The original chrome bezel, along with the bulky rubber, really makes the shape of the quarter panel appear as an after affect, and kind of cheapens the car in my opinion.. The same goes for the P1800 tail light bezels, and that is why they are no longer on my Project Changling build, and it really makes a difference.

                          I am looking for some Full Red lenses, because I am wanting to remove the Clear Reverse Light section of the lense, and actually make the whole light work as Park and Brake lights, while using the whole light assembly for those functions. The early cars had a full red lense, but they are apparently in short demand, and on back order at this time..

                              • People may be getting tired of the numerous paint pictures, but apparently people have really been looking at the pics in fine detail, so I have had alot of questions about this color, and various questions about why they noticed blotching or graining in the pics. So I took pics in various lighting types, and as you can see, it is very hard to capture all the affects of the color, and even harder to see the questioned anomoly's in person. Hopefully I have captured that it isnt a coverage problem, or anything that stands out and captures your attention in person.. It hasnt been wet sanded or buffed yet, and hopefully the pictures arent that grainy in the close ups.. I am actually thinking that the non sheen of the pictures on the computer monitor is what is making various observation noticable? I am not a photographer, so I cannot say anything about what happens in digitizing photo's, and posting the pics in the forums.. If this was black, blue, or any other color, I dont think there would be any issue photographing it.
