What did you use for paint on this? Unfortunately it does not have a code as my local paint guy spent an hour matching a 68 valve cover I had. The actual paint however is just single stage Nason.

Awesome car, and I love the single stage paint.
If you were to shop for a lift again would you still do the 4 post drive on or do a 2 post frame lift? They both have their pros and cons. This four post works great for assembly of everything except for the drivetrain as we assemble everything from the bottom and the engine cradle does not fit between the ramps very well. The major pro on the four post is being able to open the doors completely while assembling. My two post is much more commercial and works great for the heavy duty assembly and grunt work. The four post needs to be installed and connected to the concrete even though they state it does not. It was way to wobbly for me to be climbing under it without anchors..

Man that thing is sweet. I have been trying to decide whether or not to put a stripe on my Bee, and that black on black looks really good.

Wow! That's really inspiring. Great job!

In response to a post above.
I know you can buy the correct paint from Frank Badalson. I have also seen over on DC.com where M7 Porsche is used for engine paint.
scroll down in the link and you can see what it looks like. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,95294.175.html

PS.... Is the paint PPG concept? Oh. Forgot to answer this. The paint on the car is Duponts old Chroma base/clear system. It has a new #### name and Dupont dropped the line. It is about 1/2 price of what it was when Chroma. It has a very high solid clear that buffs out great. This Superbee was painted 20 years ago with Chroma clear system. It still buffs out like glass! I would use PPG but out local supplier is.... hard to deal with.. I will leave it at that.

I like the chroma base/clear too.
The ppg stuff has gotten ridiculously priced anyhow.
Your cars are awesome!
