Love the paint you picked out! Can't wait to see it when you get done. I'm in a similar spot as you were....saving for new coat of paint .....well just as soon as Uncle Same sends me my exhaust fund money (rebate). How soon are you thinking it will be finished?

Hey you're pretty cute.

All joking aside it seams like you are spending the necessary time to do things properly. I'm sure the car will turn out great. I wished my car was that clean when I bought it, once it's running major body work is in order.

lol, thanks and yeah i'm trying to take the time to do things right. My car is staying in the shop from tomorrow afternoon till sunday to do the trim work (door jams, hatch jam and hood jam) and then the weekend after we're going to do the actual body of the car.

Pearlescent white feels too "luxury car" to me, but it'll look nice.
I always love a nice bright metallic blue on an FC though, I have a blaze red s5 now though, oh well.

Good luck and I hope it turns out great!

If it were like the gold pearl I would agree but that silver red pearl should look sexy in the sun. Also if Im not mistaken thats not pearlescent its just a pearl clear coat im fairly sure there 2 different things.♠
