We've all seen the pictures: yeah, yeah, light blue & bright orange. Blah, blah, blah. But today I sprayed my old rowing shell (former life, interrupted by back arthritis) with Ford "Heritage Blue" - same color as used on the GT40 remix.
OMG.
These pictures genuinely do not do justice to this color. It is blue, and a bit green, and silver, and a different blue, all at once. And then a cloud rolls in, and it's a totally different shade. Absolutely mesmerizing. I am blown away.
Definitely not a baby blue. Deeper and richer. So much more going on. I was not planning this at all, but it's very possible that the TVR may end up this color. Maybe with big dark blue side stripes. Not the orange. Wouldn't look right.
Pretty fun pulling out the good spray guns and the fresh-air mask. Haven't used those in a while (see previous life in rowing world...). An base-coat / clear-coat sprays sooo nice. I forget that.
And the boat is going to get the full Gulf treatment. It should look pretty sweet when it's done!
