Paint Help?

TS87FC3S · 02-27-2010, 02:24 PM

Ok so my 88 gxl is factory silver with almost no clear left on it. I'm trying to decide on what color I want to paint it and I'm open to all suggestions. I'm thinking about either Bayside Blue (skyline from fast and furious 4), or house of kolor platinum pearl. The car has a blue interior, and will have tii hood and front bumper and s5 tail lights. And also when I repaint it I am doing the engine compartment, door jambs, and underside. Any suggestions on colors

I've prepped and painted many cars plus my dad is a collison paint tech so there is no problem on getting it preppe or painted and we can do any color pearls, metal flakes, Kandys etc.. And I have as long as I we'd to get it painted in the body shop...

Just go with whatever you like best. Colour is such a personal thing.
