That's nice, but why would you go with a stock color if you're wanting to be different? Can EB not be purchased in Greece? I mean, you don't have to go with some exotic kandy or chameleon, but I would definitely not go with a stock color if doing that much work on a repaint. Maybe I would have went with the new blue on the Evo X. I love it. I'm not trying to knock it, it's your car, but people will see it and go oh an EB Evo IX. It just doesn't justify all that hard work you (or someone else) did on the car.

But, that is definitely THE WAY to do a color change. It takes a ton of work and R&I to do that kind of job. (R&I is remove and install). I am a painter so I know.

Wow, the pics make it look like it was easy. But I'm sure it was far from it.

thanks for your good words but here in greece they never sold EB so that is why I painted it EB and I showed greek peolpe the other way of making a evo differnet without painting wierd colors...I did all the R&I on the car I put alot of time into it because this is the car thats shows off my store..
