It was ppg base coat clear coat. With 2 coats of black and 2 coats of clear. We didn't use any high temp paint for the engine bay. Ryan has came along way with his car. It will be quite impressive when finished.

Hey ryan, its looking good. I had a question though...with cutting the entire roof off like that, why didn't you choose to put a full cage in so that if you ever did happen to flip the car or something you would actually have a cage over your head to support the roof from crashing on you? Seems like the windshield would fold right up with no support on it any more. You plan on latching the targa using t top mounts right? or has that changed now?
