    Yep, the time has come to repaint the FLTR. I was hoping that this wouldn't happen until next year but sometimes one Just doesn't have a choice.

    It will be pretty close to what it is now. It will be pearl based black with a blue metallic pearl. The black is called Malbec Black from the car Infinity, but modiefied.

    No tank art. Of course I will snap pictures. From the pictures however, you will not be able to see the difference from the old paint job to the new one.
