Custom titanium paint job

ok so here's the deal i paint cars for a living and i thought it would be sweet to paint my Silver G coupe the same color as my titanium dash setup. i have been working on the color for a while using a low gloss clear to bring it all together i was wondering if anybody has done this or knows the best way to do it i personally would like it and it would be original. any tips are welcomeDOMO

that should look cool... I've always thought black chrome would look good! Joe @ Wet Works in Costa Mesa does it with clear & a bit of black... I guess clear & silver would work too... as for how to mix? You can give him a call: (949) 646-6969

Auto Explosion in Gardena has done some trick stuff
