Ok, so I'm still settled on pearl black. Don't worry, not changing my mind. But! I am seriously considering doing something a little different, I'll post pics if I decide to do it. That way I won't get your guys' hopes up.

As for the paint, looks like I'll be going with House of Kolor... good sh*t right? First coat will be an epoxy primer, second coat will be a black base, third coat will be a clear base with paintwithpearls.com blue pearl or violet pearl mixed in, final coat will quite possibly be a Nano scratch resistant clear.

The downside of the scratch resistant clear is that it can't be sanded and polished because it's so hard. It will probably have a slight orange peel because of this. On the plus side, the black paint won't show swirls from towels and scratches and water spots, etc. And black paint is notorious for that stuff.

Get a big motorgen.com vinyl ready for me, this car's gonna be one sexy bitch.

...? I've been working on it everyday. I can only do so much before I need to let the filler dry overnight before sanding. The body work should all be done in the next few days though, knock on wood.

Check out my other two threads for pic updates.
