Well after searching with no luck i decided to paint the car Inferno Orange Metallic, never seen it on a 4th gen but always liked the color. I'm using Spies Hecker Hi-Tec waterbourne basecoat, which is what we use on the Mercedes we fix, its expensive but i know some people :secret2:. Now for pics, should be done by the end of the week.

Thanks , the clear is Spies Hecker high solids 8035 i believe. The last time i painted it 4 years ago we used Glasurit in the shop and they put a medium solids clear on it which constantly had to be polished to keep up, the high solids should stay shiny forever like factory paint. I will do the engine bay when i pull the motor this winter. This is what i do for a living.

Thanks guys, I looked into T-tops but opted to stay with the hard top, just have to get one from the yard.
