And it's not fabric...
I have discovered custom automobile paint!
Pink |
While hunting auto makers site, looking for a paint color I liked for the Featherweight refinish, I ran across a website called 'House of Kolor', originally a custom paint shop, now part of the Valspar Automotive Coatings Division.

What it all boils down to is they have an AMAZING color selection.
Burgundy |
Which means I don't have to settle on the current auto makers colors - which frankly, are mostly boring!
Oriental Blue |
I can have fun, rich, bright Kandy colors. OH MY!!!
Majestic |
And that's the Problem with a capital P.
Cobalt |
So what's the Problem, you ask??
Magenta |
I have to chose just one!!
Violette |
Oh, yeah - I already emailed to make sure this brand can be used and the answer is Yes!
Purple |
So now it's entirely up to me. These custom Kandy color will increase the price of the refinish job but if I'm going to do this, I going to do this right. After all, a girl only turns this age once and this is my birthday present to myself! Now I have to make a decision, stick to it & send the Featherweight off to Arkansas. More on that process later.
Update: Vireya at Vireya's Blog told me to search PPG color chart (PPG manufactures auto paint for my auto makers). And I did. Oh, this is too cool - look hundreds of auto paints to view and you can search them by year, then sort them by color family or auto maker or finish... Oh My!
A quilter can only take so much color before our brain explodes! I need to go touch some fabric.

Wow, those House of Kolor colours are fantastic! Have fun picking one. Your machine is going to be a work of art!
