I Think I haven't an "vision area" but the oval isn't at home at the moment!
And Then THE GREAT moment!!!! Rust-free or not?

And this is the result of the wheels, stratos silver and perl white (stratos silver is so Difficult to get the color good on a picture  )
3 times the same wheel! |

Well as a professional photographer I can tell you that almost all the VW metallic paints of the 1950's are a "pain in the ass" to photograph correctly.
Stratos Silver, Ultramaroon, Diamond Green and Light Bronze are difficult to shoot and change color with every passing cloud formation.......
Beautiful Wheels, can't wait to see the rest of the car done!

Perfect? Thats kinda harsh. How about the paint on the fenders, was that perfect?
People need to chillax. I think it looks great. And yes, I fully understand the demand for an original paint car and all that goes along with it. Calling a guy crazy for doing that just isn't necessary. |
X2, its his car, He Choose to Re-paint it. I love OG paint to, but its not my car. I personally think it looks 1000X's better now
