    Congratulations, Don!! I thought the deuce looked very cool with the satin black, and especially with the Bonneville logo on the doors but I can't disagree with Mike on the flat/suede/primer look. Kind of like Harvest Gold or Avocado Green appliances in a house - ya' know it's from the 70's....

    Certainly hope you're right, Mike... Maybe also that a lot of people, self included, when they see the flat paint cars get to wondering just how bad things are underneath that it's hidden with flat paint??? Shiny and buffed shows up all the dirty little secrets and requires more work to get right.

    Sounds like you've got some capital to start a new project now. What's it going to be?

    I saw the photos on the "other site" and IMHO, much better. Suede isn't my favorite 'color' nor are logos painted on a car (truck, fine)
