V2-006 Back From Powder Coat in Crystal Grey

V2-006

Written by Adam Doyle on Jul 3, 2026

V2-006 is back from the powder coating shop. It went out bare and came back in Crystal Grey with a clear coat on top. In the shade it is a dark gunmetal grey but out in the sun you see the bright metallic flake shine through. The clear coat gives it a bit more depth and makes for a more durable finish.

This one is a T-Top chassis. It has standard door bars and the Main Hoop X-Brace add-on. You can see the X-brace filling in the main hoop in the photo above. Here is the color up close so you can get a better sense of the flake.
