So here's the compromise I was talking about. Flat black primer to hide the normal that just won't take color. Neither side wants to cooperate so.... I see a red door LOL Once life slows down again, I may start working on various details for the car. Until then, think of it as 'glass tub getting ready for a final color. BTW I am leaning towards good ol' Ford blue as a couple of test renders have produced fair results. I still have a few things I want to do with the mesh before I move on to the details(body and door line definition-chrome/ or lack of) Oh yeah! and fix that nagging normal.
