How do you like that Omni vs. say Concept? I bought the PPG Concept for my bug as the guys as the paint shop really didn't have much good to say about the Omni? Have you shot Concept and if so, what's did you see as the difference? _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

I had my bumpers sprayed with the same Omni white paint. Have you noticed how that white changes to more of a yellow-white in the shade, vs just white in full sun? |

The paint is oh so very good now, I will still need to color sand and buff the finish at the end. I am happy with the results. I did need to bring in a friend of mine that paints high end cars to help me with my settings and lay down the final clear. I love this part of the build, re-assembly. I have decided to use bamboo flooring due to the water resistant quality's and its cheap. I am re purposing a pair of seats out a 1983 Porsche 944. They were originally brown then dyed black. What is neat about that is the black dye is coming off as I polish the leather and showing the brown. The effect is very cool in person. I figure with the brown (champagne edition) dash they will look nice. Tomorrow I want to have the floor installed, the cabinets installed and the dash vinyl dyed. I have decided on a set of 17x7 BRM wheels and Yokohama tires sized 205/50R17 extra load 300UTQG max load 1433 lbs. They have a total diameter of just over an inch smaller that stock 14" wheels. These wheels in conjunction with a 4" drop with provide a nice ride and look cool.
