Volvo 457 'Flash Green' and 'White Pearl'

Update: I was worried when I first saw these pictures (they were sent to me by Kreations). The color looked bluer and bolder than I had anticipated. I was after a more subtle shade of turqouise. I was afraid I was going to have to respray it.

But I saw it in person today and it looks very nice. The color is not overpowering at all. And the true color appears much more green than the pictures. The pictures were made in a dim room with a harsh flash that makes the contrast appear more than it actually is.

Whew.

Painting has begun

The roof is to be white with a pearled finish. The body is to be a turquoise green. So far only white has appeared.

Bare Metal

After media blasting and before final prepping for paint.

Update

Most metalwork is done. It was bead blasted on Thursday. They'll spend the next week doing final fitting of panels and prepping the body for paint. I'm going to be making paint selections.
