Thanks for the support guys. Appreciate the kudos. The flares are fiberglass and the platinum trim I painted and cleared with PPG Flex n Flat a satin clear. The desire was to match the wheel color. However, as the paint shop told me, it is tough to do. I am thinking that gloss clear may have been closer. The wheels are anodized. However, I am committed at this point.

A unique attribute of this car is that I blocked most of the lines to a crisp edge. They are extremely straight and sharp. Hard for me to catch the light well in a photo to illustrate, although this pic give an idea. I had never done body work to this level before and I am embarrassed to say how many hours of sanding I have in the exercise.

I also metal finished the rear light to french it in like I have seen on Steve Griffen's yellow car.
