I just got my car back from my paint guy last Sunday. My wife and I chose a 2004 Corvette color called Medium Spiral Gray Metallic. This color should have come on 3rd gen cars from the factory. I am in the process of doing dynamat and installing the new interior. I will post pics in the next few days. I used 2 trunk kits (40 sq ft) of extreme dynamat and I need probably 1 and a half more. This sucker is gonna look awesome. Also, I bought the goodmark steel cowl hood. Fits like a glove. :rockon:

 

I had my car painted the medium spiral gray metallic in December '02. The following pictures are kind of dark and don't do the car justice. I get lots of compliments on this color.

That is a dam nice looking ride. Do you have the color code for that paint? I like it alot. I was going for gun metal grey, but now....

 

spiral grey metallic is hard paint to match at my shop we had to shoot a truck 3 times and it still never came out just right we finally had to have ppg custom mix the color for us, it has some big metal flake in it, nice color though

[B]How many quarts is it gonna take to cover the Enterprise?

 

It's estimated by DATA that it will take approximately 26,123 gallons to cover it all. The crew and I looked at a hologram image of what it will look like when its finished and I must say, "It looks awesome baby!" But with todays modern technology for paint jobs (2085 of course), it shouldnt take more than 6 minutes to paint it all!

Picard out!

 

Thx Cappy. I don't know the color code off the top of my head, but can get it if needed. I went to a gtg where a guy had fresh paint job of Gun Metal Grey and his car looked damn sweet. I've noticed that in some pictures, my car takes on more of a green hue. But it's definitely a darker grey than the original.

In these pics, My car is on the left and Dan's car (Gun Metal Grey) is on the right.

 

Those are both sweet rides. I like both colors. Wish I had codes for both then I could choose one or the other. Maybe I could do one as a base and use the other for flames or possibly a blend in? Hmmm... If you could get the codes that would be great. Thanks!

 

wow. both awsome colors. i think i prefer the gun metal be just a smidgen. real tough call. both look seet. congratulations guys.

i am having my car painted maybe this summer (if $$$ allows) i think i am going for black.

 

All Jean-Luc needs is the code. Then after Enterprise is fitted with its new hi-amp alt., it can replicate the color all by itself, lol.

 

Get me the code, Number One!!!

 

I think if I had it to do all over again, I'd go with peuter or platinum. Those colors are uncommon and look downright righteous.
