Two Tone deluxe is what I would do adds custom look to it I like.

I drove my body shop crazy on paint color I kept getting samples having them paint an old door I had. Finely the owner called me said pick a paint today or pickup your truck. I thought it would be easy to pick but as I started looking at different colors I kept going with different shades and different amounts of metallic. Paint looked different from a sample when they painted the test panel.

I also upgraded to the best clear coat they had has 10 year warranty against UV and scratch resistant. The painter said it was so hard within the hour he had to color sand it right away before it fully cured be too hard to sand I know it was a DuPont product.
