Looks nice, ...

Now it needs a 'Manta' stripe or something to set it off.

Should'a done the 'Berger' rear panel while you were at it also!

what was the reason for painting the grille? looks a little overboard imo. do you plan on doing something else with it?

Love the pearl looks great, but I would have left the roof, grille and sail panels all Black, I think that would of set it off, real nice job though!..

Looks like a very high quality job. How many coats of clear? Wetsanding?

The color is for a sports car, though. Should have kept the black roof or something.

thanks

the color looks very nice in person. I am going to try to get some pictures with a good camera and finish putting everything on the car. I thought about leaving the grill,roof black but I think that would look good if the car was a plain white not a pearl white. I didnt paint the car my friend did and usually this would cost about $7,000 but I didnt pay anywhere close to half of that

I bought this SS for a good price and since I had a little money left over I figured why not paint it

I wish the picture quality was better to get a real appreciation of that paint. If it looks anything like the pearl on the Solara's, then

its been awhile since i've heard that.

Its a good color, but theres just too much of it. maybe it will look differantly with the emblems?... Untill then i like the steel grey pearl better.
