yep , cyan blue is definately a metallic colour :spoton:

I have spiced the colour up a bit though in this case by putting the last few coats of colour on with a 50/50 mix with clear in with the colour,
this gives the colour more depth

then another 5 or 6 coats of straight clear over the top of that :spoton:

Nice resto and it didn't take fifty billion years.

Your car looks very straight. Hope the rust is taken care of for good.

What's next/to do?

Hope the rust is taken care of for good.

the only rust in the car was a tiny hole in the rear window frame,
it was drilled out and migged up :spoton:

rust is not likely to ever be an issue with this car

Well, after a little bit of patience, a few drachmas and a little alcohol the Cyan Blue LJ has migrated north into the state of chaos, to a little place just inland from the ocean. A few pics are attached for the afficianados:
