Re: '72 Project Deplorable
Thank you. Feel free to steal the color all day long, I stole it from Dodge after all. lol... The bottom color is Billet Silver also swiped from the Dodge line-up. They are both heavy in metallic and pearl. My other choice was Chevy's Nightfall Grey Metallic but they didn't have a Silver I wanted to go with the grey. I wanted a darker silver and Chevy's was to light and bright for what I was after. I'm an intermediate painter myself with a handful of race cars under my belt over the years. For this reason I hired a painter for the job. He laid the mud and blocked for primer, I did the welding and wet sanded the primer, and he shot the color. I would have certainly had waves in the body, runs in the paint, and burns the clear so I chose to stick with my skill set. I talked to my lawn guy and he knew a guy who was looking for some side work so it worked out.
My thoughts for you: Metallics are not known to be the most newby friendly and at $300 per gallon with over 2 pints of pearl in it, I'd say the chances of disappointment are relatively high. There's alot of painters on craigslist who are desperate for some side work.
