Yes, that is the original metal flake. There are a few spots where I want to get the builders clear touched up, but not many.

Slow as usual, but the ugly azz steel trailer is gone. Need to add/adjust bunks, but aluminum it is.

I'll have to get some pics, but I picked up the finished interior today. Those guys exceeded my expectations. The replaced all the wood with some kind of PVC board. Even the area under the seat cushion that you don't see has some sort of finish fabric on it. The pieces are all lighter than they were and the material, stitching, fit is first class. It's not the loudest or fanciest design, but I wanted it conservative and classy. I think I got that plus very functional. They even stitched a strip of Velcro on the bottom of the seat cushion to hold it in the shell. Hoping this gets me motivated to finish everything else. Picked up a very nice clean mid to replace the one I have and a lower with a bobs cone as well. Still got some work, but getting there.
