To answer the questions from my last post:

I did that paint job myself. I used Dupont Chromallusion. Its called Extreme Purpleen, and it was $700 for a quart. I used vinyl graphics (reversed) for a stencil on the doors, when I shot the Purpleen, I pulled the vinyl off and it looks like the pic.

I decided this summer to re-paint it all black. Here's a few pics of me REMOVING and PAINTING OVER a $3,000 paint job in July '00.

Wow, very nice Don! I wish I got the money for a new paint job. Even just a repaint of the factory color would be good enough. Last time I check, the estimate was about $2200 for a whole repaint of the car in factory black. Just imagine if the whole car is repainted a custom color such as Extreme Purpleen. $$$ YIKES!

Great pics Don. Why did you get rid of the Chromallusion paint? Did you get tired of it? Just curious. Your car still looks great with the new black paint.
