unfortunaly duner21 it is not original paint when i got the hood and wing i went throught the trouble of getting it to match so i ended up having the whole car painted.
The paint is the factory pewter but with a finer flake which lessens the sparkle and gives it more of a silvery look.

It looks really good. You can see even some different angles have different colors. Did you get a good deal on your hood and spoiler cause I'm kind of lookin for some right now.

yea i got a pretty good deal from rksport cause me and my buddy ordered at the same time so just give em a call and see what they can do. As far as the paint it barely got finished by the world of wheels so now the car has to be wet sanded and buffed and a few things here and there.

you are my hero! lol. i wanted to see that paint scheme because it's what i will be doing with my car when it's time for paint. did the paint shop just add extra flake to it the factory pewter? or did they get non-metallic pewter, if there is such a thing, and add their own flake from there?

thanks,
Dave

btw....how far is that shop from the Chicago area? also, did they paint the top black or is that factory? and how much for the whole job?

ok, i'm done. thanks again.

Do you use a polishing wheel to get your smoothie II's looking like that? I've never gotten mine NEARLY as shiny by hand
