Panel Swap quickie

Zippy underwent a "swatching" today. I took a ton of pics and this video.

He looks gorgeous - I couldn't be happier.

Did you have someone paint the panels for you or did you order them in that colour?

Cheers

Thank you everyone! You guys are the best!


I'm so happy with the results. I selected the perfect pink color from a GIANT book of thousands of choices. Then I ordered a new set of panels through scp-parts ($700). They were delivered to the dealer and scp-parts (Darin) coordinated with the paint shop. Then the scpdx techs worked their magic for the swatching. It all came together very quickly and I think I mentioned I couldn't be happier!!!


I've kept the original metallic red panels - to be stashed away in the back of the garage. Who knows, someday they might be rare!
