Unhappy my car is going into the paint booth tomorrow HELP I NEED TO DECIDE WHICH COLOR

hey everyone i need your help. I have a 1988 gxl converted to an s5 and it is being painted tomorrow. Wat i need is you guys to help me decide on a white that suites the rx-7 i was hoping you can give me the name of the colour and the code (number of the paint)

so far i have my mind set on crystal white from the 10th anniversary edition but i dun have the color code. I was wondering if someone could also provide me with that too, thanks for all your help peace

Audi or Caddilac pearl white

absolutely awesome looking

pearls are more $$ though, but I think not too much more. Worth it imo

Your car is going to the paint booth tomorrow and you don't know what color you want?

That's just too weired, strange.

How did you prep your car for paint? Have you removed everything that you can possibly could remove or mask it and shoot it?

Just got my 90 vert back, pearl white. couldn't find a formula for the code so we made one up The coats were sealer-white base-gold pearl-red pearl-gold pearl- then 3 clear. I spent 4 grand but added a wing and had quite a few dings to fix, also painted mirrors and windshield surround black.

hey

hey everyone thanks for the help
yeah i know i am cutting it close to the deadline and haven't figured out a color yet. the thing is is that my uncle is painting my car and will do it for free (prep and painting) but i have to pay for the paint its the least i could do. But he has to jam it in when he has no work to do on other customer cars so he just called me up and said bring it in on mon and spent this week prep'in it so thats the story. i am leaning towards the crystal white now unless someone has a pic of ibm on a 2nd gen. I have checked out the 3rd gens and they look sweet. Thanks again everyone peace Alvin
