I get all my paint jobs for free, including paint. Money really isn't the problem, options and preferences are. I think I'll skip the stripe, and I tried black with silver flakes and it just looks like the black is dusty. Then I tried black with a bit of red flakes and it looks really good. I'm liking it. Maybe if I decided to get fancy I could fade from black with red flakes to red with black flakes, that'd be so sick.

Central New York. it'd probably cost ya roughly $800 depending on what you want but we'd fix all your dings and imperfections (if any). but for $800 you can't go wrong. We don't charge labor. we just did this really nice mustang, it was blue with black racing strips I'll get pix next time I see it.

Central NY, huh? I'm thinking that I'll make a trip up if you will charge me $800 to fix my car! It'll have to wait until spring though.

u know once u mix metal flake into a base, its nigh impossible to duplicate it. even if u have a very accurate electronic scale. i grew up auto body, took it in college, and worked @ a dealership for a while. drive carefully. dont go smashin in to **** cuz if u do, its gonna be a beech to match...

Never thought of that, that's a good point tho lol. I'll have to measure the flakes and paint real good or mix a lot and put away some extra JUST IN CASE

Bare with me, hard as hell to take pics when it's so reflective. Flakes aren't as big as they look
