Yea, it looks kinda like a gray chrome in that photo. It's more like a hardened shell that seals the fillers and allows for a nice sandable surface for priming. The panels are baked again also.

Just found this and am completely floored!!
Jeff, you and your team's attention to detail is overwhelming!!
I loved reading each page of dedication to detail and more!! I looked forward to clicking next at the bottom of each page so I could learn and enjoy more info!
The only disappointment was when I reached the bottom of the last page thinking...
"Wait!! Where's the next page??"
This is a truly awesome project and I (as well as many others) look forward to your next post!!

Looking smokin' Jeff!!! Great job...thanx for all the illustrations and walk-throughs you've posted for all of us...hope you have a GREAT holiday season...may the New Year be a great one for you and yours. ~juli
Actually both, depending on the application. We use mostly urathane primers (dupont) but will use a ppg epoxy primer for areas that need more durability. The basecoat on this car will be ppg because ppg matches the yellow much better than the dupont, but I usually use a dupont bascoat on most of our products.
We are also going to be using a ARMORCOAT clear for the front facia. This is a rubbery type of clear that "bounces" away debris avoiding chips. More on this later.

Did you also consider Armorcoating the sills?
Much of the reason I like to paint off the car is we can get a factory type look after assembly. This is very evident when it comes to things like mounting screws and inner door areas.

Jeff, Looks GREAT! Did you spray the ARMORCOAT clear on the front facia and if so any feedback? I realize the true test will be once it hits the road, and just wondering your initial thoughts.
