In reference to your engine color. What was your formula on the paint you put on it. I imagine probably an Epoxy primer, and a "spray" on not spray bomb. I like the color tint on it as opposed to the high orange color out there. Can you share your paint code?
We dusted the engine with grey primer to get a lighter color base so the Plastikote #226 Chrysler Orange engine enamal would cover better. With the light base, the orange looks really close to original.

Would that be with DAR 9000 black and Ditzler flattening additive? Just curious as that is about what we have used in our shop, usually with hardener. You actually have to custom blend depending on particular part, environment (Humidity, temp, pressures, etc.) as even on a booth the outside conditions can effect the outcome at the extremes.

great,GREAT job... a question you painted the entire car 1st, then oversprayed the chassis with primer??
our hemi cuda is on the spinner, and ready for paint, hence the question...
The car was sprayed with grey sealer than painted base/clear. The single stage pink over spray was last.

Nother
is that a AMD repo bumper ?? It lookes like the one I sent back because it was bowed up in the middle. Challenger bumpers should have a downward bow toward the middle like the tailamps and rear vailance. 
Nope, rechromed original.

Mike, your T/A looks awesome. It looked like a nice project when it was at the Nationals. It's cool to follow along with the build.
Do you have the air cleaner lid orange paint custom mixed, bought from a vendor, or is it "off the shelf"?
Nothing special, "Chrysler Orange" right from Plastikote.

GADZOOKS MIKE! You have been busy since I last checked this thread. I can't believe the car is just about done. Looks nice.
