Default finally decided on a paint color!
I just picked up the paint on Friday. Getting the car moving is the #1 priority right now but I figured if I get the paint it'll motivate me to get things done!

I was stuck on a couple colors for a long time and then I saw this color as this car flew by me on a highway and then I spotted it again at this car show. (yes that is a bugatti veryon next to it!)

It's called Grigio Telesto and I will be doing a full ceta mod to compliment my all black wheels also.

It has metallic in it. It acutally uses green pearl and metallic high/low viscosity binders. You can see it more in person than in the pics. I want something a little "flat" I mean this color is amazing in person. Whether the car is blowing by you at 100+mph or sitting still. Yes I do have a thing for Lambos and since the only way I'll be able to afford one is if I win the lotto or become the CEO of a major corp. I'll try to make my car have similar qualities...like paint lol.

and for you VSG fans this was at the show too lol.

I agree with this comment. The paint on the lambo looks like cleared primer. Just my opinion

I like the viper steel gray better, but this color should also look pretty good. Can't wait to see it finished.
