yeah, i guess in addition to what alex said, why do all that work just to end up with a color similar to something the stock tc or an rs tc comes in?

take it as an opportunity to make it a color that is as different as you can stand. like pepto bismal pink!

or how about a pearlescent orange?

true. the reason i brought up the color change is over the winter i am molding the front and rear lip so both bumpers need painted, i'm gonna paint the sides of my cf hood and to make it look right id have to blend it to the fenders and quarters so i'm basically at an overall paint job, figured i might as well take a little extra time and just do the jambs and engine bay.

I am trying to turn it in to a show car but its also my daily driver when the weather is nice. Which is why i was leaning towards a nice yellow or orange something to make it stand out. Since i have seen a few orange already i'm kinda leaning towards the lambo yellow.

I've always wondered about chemoluminesent paints (glow in the dark). How freakin awesome would that be. Charge up in the day and glow at night. Only luminescent paints I've seen though is the little bottles at Wal Mart. Can you say 99 bottles of paint on the shelf?

Alsa corp has glow in the dark pearl you can mix right in with your clear or base. they have alot of awsome stuff on there. I got to mess around with alot of it at school, they brought down a little of all of it for us to test.

Kind of expensive, but might be worth it. Thanks for the info.
