Is there a paint expert in the house?

Yeah...it's tough picking a color, so many to chose from.....I like to go to the autobody supply store and flip through the books. There will be metallics that have larger particles than others, so I'm sure you'd find something you like.....it's sometimes hard though to "visualize" the color on your vehicle.

Another option if your on a "tight" budget.....alot of times autobody supply shops have paint that either didn't match to the customer's liking or was never picked up. This paint can be bought CHEAP....usually @ $30-40 a gallon, regardless of color and brand. So you may find a color you like in a top quality brand at an affordable price.

House of Kolor has some killer paints, but is spendy. Some of the metallics have a pearl effect built in.....and to save $$$, you can top coat it with Valspar clear, which is a little cheaper and is compatible. Valspar owns HOK.
A good place to buy HOK paint and flakes is www.Coastairbrush.com I get all my HOK paints and airbrushing supplies from Coast, great service and fast shipping.
