So I finalized the color for block and pump. Was gonna just do black but Alison pretty much laughed at me and talked me into something a lil fancier. So I went with a BMW color called black eyed purple. It still has that dark look but when the sun hits it alllllll the pearls in it will come alive. Here is what it looks like when I first mix all the toners together. This color had about 10 different toners in it.

I like the color
Its gonna look bitchen when its all put together

Now after about 5 wipe downs with a wax and grease remover I sprayed 3 coats of PCL etching primer for the bare metal. Now I'm letting it dry and then will apply a metallic black base before the actual final color. Ill be back in about 30 mins with base pics

Final base is on, soon as it fully dries ill be applying the clear coat. I'm thinking of adding additional pearl in the clear as well

Looking good dude! Are you gonna use the same color for any accents on the boat? and that tangerine and the black eyed purple are gonna be killer together!

Its funny how it looked black when I first walked in the booth, closer I got and specially with the flash bam you see the pearl!!

Haha ya hes one of a kind. Same way its looked for the past 17 years haha. He has tons of knowledge and I try and suck out as much as I can every time I see him. His shops about 7 mins from my house so I try and pay him a visit as much as possible.

Thanks, and this block came out of a cigarette boat and those holes were used to cool down different parts of the motor so instead of removing them and putting freeze plugs my engine guy Jimmy really liked them and said he wants to use them, im assuming to cool down the intercooler possibly and maybe the oil cooler. 

Ahhhh ohhhh cutting time
