Thanks, I am not going to stripe it because I broke the color up on the tail peice and the front grill with a gloss black. I personally think that too many people have stripes(I still like the look though:)). The color was custom mixed by my painter with two different types of black and two different types of aluminium flake. There is a little bit of blue in it also.

look great, nice work
i hope he kept good track of how he mixed it up, if he did not it is not going to be fun when you need a touch up done, if i were you i would get the tints he used and how many grams of each, so you have it

Looks really really nice. I bet its a lot better in person since the camera isnt picking up any of the blue or hardly the metal flake. Did you paint it yourself? There also seems to be a little bit of pearl effect in the paint.

Thanks, No I didn't paint it myself. I had a shop near my area do it. The owner sprays all of the cars and they only do customs. The pearl that you are seeing is actually the fine aluminium flake. I can't wait to get it home! I will update when the body is all put together on the chasis.
