After many months in the shop and many thousands of dollars, my 42K mile 1982 RoW 911SC coupe, sunroof and AC delete, has been completely rebuilt mechanically. It drives like a dream and the SSI sport exhaust is music to my ears. I have it for the next couple of weeks to drive it and hopefully shake out any bugs before it goes into the body shop for a strip and paint. The car is guards red with a navy blue interior, yes, navy blue. The heritage certificate verifies this. Anyway, I am unsure as to I should have it painted single stage or base with clear. The car is very clean and straight, fairly original, but it will not be a trailer queen, but a car to drive and enjoy. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Have you posted this on Rennlist or Pelican? I'm curious too. I have an 81 that needs a paint job too! I runs like a dream!

 

The body has been disassembled, (all glass removed, doors, front fenders, hood and trunk removed) sandblasted and primed with an anti-corrosive primer. Another primer will be applied and then will be going with a 2 stage Guards Red, original paint color,

 

Nice- please post pictures.

 

If it's going to be a driver then I say 2 stage base/clear is your best bet. I love the blue interiors by Porsche in this area. Sounds like a fine ride!
