Fresh paint and nice wheels


#1

The Valley Motorwerks car has just been freshened up with a nice coat of paint… It turned out pretty good even though we could not find the Motorsport paint codes anywhere.

The new look will debut at Thunderhill June 2nd and 3rd.

That is great paint job Walter! Is there a VMW sponsored spec e30 paint offering in the works? Otherwise I am going to Maaco in a couple of weeks but two colors was one more than I was planning to afford.

If you’re local I can swing you a better deal. Call the shop on Monday and we can talk about it.

EDIT: How many accoutns do you have? :stuck_out_tongue:

The BMW (and Glasurit) color codes are:

>Blue = PPG DAR 14956
>Violet = Dupont H9915G

Awesome, I wanted to do that, but it seems it’s becoming too popular with white cars, so I’ll go with different colors.
