Not slackin cowboy, just gettin old.
It's 2001 BMW Hot Red Code 312, chassis and bottom were already done and it came with a full gallon of BASF RM single stage.
I thought Barry was makin the red and orange again. Loved his orange.

he is i think. whine enough and he'll make up a batch

Obviously the body was to the manufactures high standards again resulting in minimal work in preparation for slops to be thrown at it. The bright red will look cool on the car as did the orange of the previous one. Certainly makes the job easier when one doesn't have to repair and then block out damage or imperfections.

Took less than 4 hrs to get ready for paint, all had been done prior to purchase, was in epoxy primer. Just had to hit it with 320 then 400 and wrap it up.

Done. just slap it back 2gether then off for the guts.

Is that Duncan, Arizona ? You certainly don't need to invest in a bake oven when you can push it out doors and use the big bright thing hanging in the sky. I believe the dark blue dead cow will lok absolutely awesome in there with the red.
