I wanted to share this build that I’m doing on my dads new XP1K4. Sometime in the late spring he dropped his new ride off at my shop and asked if I would build it for him. I have no problem doing it so long as he leaves it to me, and doesnt get too involved. This time his only real request was that he wanted it two tone and wanted a matte orange color. I could picture it right off the bat and said, I got this…
One of the first orders of business was to find a wrap material or paint, and be able to match it with a powder coat. This was not easy. It took me a few weeks to nail down the right wrap material and order a matching powder. This could not be done without samples of each. After this process I’m a believer that I dont want to do it again. haha Good news is I nailed it the first time after much research. We ended up ordering "Blaze Orange Matte" through Wolf Designs in Queen Creek.
The color is more like a metallic dark copper and changes shades in different lighting. I absolutely love it and would use it again.
Next chore was stripping the car down and installing a MTS suspension system from Lonestar Racing. The LSR MTS kit combined with Internally bypassed Fox shocks is what I run on my desert race car and it has proven to be the best handling suspension system that I have ever driven. If you dont believe me, flag us down in the dunes sometime and go for a ride. The combo will blow your mind!
