I hate to post links to TIF on here.
There are two threads on TIF about the paint jobs and how we do them, I have slowed down now with the pictures as there are only so many times you can do it.
I don’t know how many we have done, but I can say that at the recent meet (last weekend) we only had a couple of FSG cars, so my plan to rid the world (or at least GB) of FSG cars is working
The Cheery red car was done in winter and we never had a good day where the sun was out to show it off properly, shame because it was excellent.
Trouble now is that I don’t know what colour to do the next one.

Steve, we had a trial colour at work for a while that I would LOVE to see on a Soarer. Colour was called Express, made by PPG. Basically black with gold fleck.
Similar in concept to your Cheery (Cherry by chance?) Red. Which we also painted for a short time for HSV though ours was called Cherry Black.
Most time you look at it its just Black, though on corners or when the light hits it right it turns gold. mmmmmmmm.

we didnt have any pictures of the black/red 32 in the sunlight, as for the others I will sort out some links later that you can look at of some the cars we have done.
What colour is.." Express" ? and who are PPG ?
You are Right Don, we too consider the 'Ozzie' site to be the sister of TIF.
This is an old link, (about a year) I will do a refresh later and add some more to that list.

Aye PPG is MASSIVE!
Parent company started off in the plate glass industry. God only knows what got them into paint, but theyre heavily into it now.
Id love to take some photos of the Express bodies we have at work though sadly if I got seen with a camera no more job for me. Cant even take my phone on plant because it has a camera in it.
