Hey



Like that Guardsman blue. My Cobra goes in in late March/April for paint.



I have been driving it around for some time in white Gel coat.



See my photos.

I will paint in PPG Guardsman Blue with pure white stripes and possibly a yellow over the guard.

Will Post new photos once done. Keep an eye out

Cheers

Bernie
