Thanks, it's a slightly different variation of GM's PPM. I had the PPG rep add a little more flake and pearl to it.

I think its something like 620HP on pump gas...
But still I guess that is not bad considering it gets better gas mileage then the average 4th gen Automatic...

I know I get like 12mpg on my 02z28.... LOL.. and I am far from 620HP.

can I ask why you used 885 for reducer? I didnt think it was that hot in SC this time of year..

oh and is that rear quarter shot pre cut and buff? if so youve got the makings of a hell of a clear artist.

(Of course Im an 860 junkie, flashes fast. Hell I use supercharger on most of my small clear jobs...)

I actually ended up using 895 because thats what the rep recommended for the booth temp and exterior temp. The pictures of the qtr are straight out of the booth... I still need to color sand the whole car.
