Finally got the Swedish Ops T-shirts in, and I think they came out great, so I hope people like them.. I have them in a standard T-Shirt, along with a Dickies brand Shop Shirt, and they cover the Classic Volvo P1800 and 122s (Amazon). I thought it was a clever idea to showcase the Swedish Ops components, by installing them in a technical line drawing view of both Volvo Models, as you can see with all the internals of the vehicle line drawing.

Well it is finally day for color, and here is the process and outcome for today.. We will be exploding the car again next week, so we can do the jambing, trunk, and under hood, but the exterior came out great.. We put a sealer down before the Black Base Coat, and here is how the black base looked.. I know alot of guys might have stopped at black, because it would have been just fine, but I wanted something just a bit different..

Here are some pictures of the first and second coats of the Liquid Metal finish, and we ended up finishing with 6 coats of the Liquid Metal...

Here are some pics of the 6th coat of Liquid Metal, before the clear coat..

Here are some pics with the final clear coat involved, but there is Sealer, 3 Coats of Black Base Coat, 6 Coats of Liquid Metal, and then the Final Clear Coats.. I tried to capture the affects of the Liquid Metal Color with the camera, but it is very hard to capture, but it goes from a bright metal/silver appearance to a straight up Black color at the extreme contours, with more a Graphite mid range for the softer contours. And you can see the example of the extreme black appearance in the grille openings, because those have just as much coverage as the rest of the car.. LOL
