I would leave my car sliver, because i can go a good month without washing my car and it still looks clean.

I really liked my SWP so i would probably go back to that.. Having WRB dirt shows up so quick and swirl marks as well.

That would be hard for a paintbooth day unless everything is 100% prepped before getting there.

People can do that at home.


as for me. I'd paint my car with a black base coat and a flattened clear. Then toss on some gloss black time attacks with the red lip. WOOT.

either that or a white basecoat with a semi flattened clear with a little bronze pearl mixed in it with bronze 57s wheels. MmMMMMMM

yup. should be sick. Pagan gold over a black base coat. Possibly with a darker gold pearl mixed in the clear if I decide it's too bright for me.

Painting everything else black under the hood including under the hood. Air cleaner gold. Possibly fined valve covers with gold in the grooves.

Probably paint the air bag tank gold and some other bits.

Body is gonna be a flattened burgundy pearl. Roof black cherry high gloss with lace. Possibly gold barried in red candy.

Should be sick. I have all the paint for the motor/tranny and engine bay now so hopefully that'll be done in a couple weeks. Have the car back on the road. Rest of the car won't see paint for probably 8 weeks.

Sounds sick man, i love old cadys done up like that. Once the paint is done, are you 100% done with the car? or is a neverending story?
