    wormgod, you sound like me!...

    I was an autobody repair and paint tech for over 20 years before my back disentegrated on me... ;(

    Over the next couple weeks, we will be in the process of moving, but once settled in, I really want to attack the VX to give her a facelift. So, with any luck, she will be all fresh lookin' for the new year!

    My plan is this...

    I already have the color mixed up (blue/green/purple) so that WILL go on it...
    The cladding color will be called: "graphite"
    And before I saw this thread, I was already planning this, but I'm thinking 'bout covering everything in the satin/matte finish... I've been wanting to do a full paint like that for years!

    I wonder how much these guys are paying for the elaborate air-brush work? Looks expensive!

    Photoshop or not, it's beautiful work and goes beyond any standard paint job...we can all agree, we already drive works of Art....it's nice t see what's possible.

    I agree with you. Way too over the top. Some even ugly!

    We've seen it before... I'll find the thread in a bit. Bit of a dark theme but a beautiful VX.

    As it should be Mark, didn't mean to diminish your find. I just wish some billionaires would join the site and start importing these crazy Russian rigs (and a few LTDs too).

    And I REALLY need to find a 3M Di-Noc dealer nearby...
