If I was getting my car repainted I would go ahead and spend the extra cash to get something a little different than everybody. JMHO. Post pictures when you get it back.

I saw an online store with SOM about 400 a gallon. Not sure what the brand was? For the paint experts-Does that sound right?

SOM is more expensive because there are more tints in it.
