Re: [DML] Painting Front Fascia

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Based on your Vin, you should have the darker color
fascias.

I don't know if Rob will be painting them the
"correct" color for the Vin, or using the lighter
color as seen on the later cars....  Although I have
seen your car a number of times, I cant recall what
color your fascias and wheels were (the wheels on the
early cars are darker too).

As far as what color you want, I would suspect you
need to discuss that with Rob.

However, I will say that most of the time the
repainted fascias can be identified as such to people
who know DeLoreans.  Usually by the gloss more than
the color.

1860 has repainted fascias (painted by a local body
shop, NOT ROB), and although I asked him to match the
later (lighter) color, the mix got screwed up and the
color is darker like the earlier color.  With the
wheels from 6068 on it right now, it looks odd to
DeLorean connoisseurs.
