I have lived here for 16 years and didn't know that Rippie was here. I googled them and found out that Rippie Motorsports is now in Waverly, MN which is about 1 hour west of the Twin Cities.

I don't think I will need to do anything major but it is good to know that one of the best Corvette tuners is that close.

My guys were to busy today so paint will happen tomorrow.

Thanks for the info.

I hope this worked as I am a rookie when it comes to posting on a forum. I have re-sized them twice and rotated them also.

If you want an exact match on the blacked out sections of the bumper SEM TRIM GLOSS black is what you want.This is a single stage paint with and without catalyst but it is a dead on match.

I have a black zr1 with black interior. I use Doug Rippie. He's on your side of town and does great work at a reasonable price. Doug has forgotten more about zr1 than most people ever knew.

That is good to know for future reference. Is he still in Plymouth or is it in Waverly now?

Thanks for the info. I was going to blackout and clear over the openings when the Red base coat was done but the fine line tape was pulling the black off. So i will do it after it is cleared.

It's a 80' tunnel that fits 4 cars at a time. We have 2 set side by side with a mix room between. We paint on average about 35-40 cars per day.

Driver's side middle drippage may be the infamous header stud leak.
The booth is off the hook...
