Thanks everyone. The color is called Frost Turquoise. It is a Ford Factory color. I got it from MCW Paints. It is a lacquer. I also used 2k automotive clear coat and then wet sanded and polished. I am still trying to perfect that technique.

I also have this in my stash, were there any fitting issues, or problems with it?

@István Szücs make sure your rear bumper fits snug before painting. There are two little areas that need to be removed in order for it to fit properly. I did not realize this until after the paint work was already done. Another thing I did not think about until it was too late are the sun visors. When you install them be sure they are not angled up too much. It will affect the way the hard top sits. Mine is not too bad and I did not glue it down anyway but just something to think about. Overall it is a pretty good kit. It has become one of if not the favorite in my built collection.

It comes with two different front axle assemblies. I used the drop spindles because I thought it may sit too high in the front with the other axle. On the next one I build I am also going to lower the rear end a little as well.
