Chris, While you decide on the color why not play around with adding some different color pearl to your car..something that will discreetly pop out from the normal IP?

I had a flame red custom paint on an old car I owned and we added a purple pearl...man did that thing change the whole dynamic of the car.

Thanks Mex. I'd have to see how much that would run me first but I will definately consider it. Thats a really good idea. Thanks

IF you try it and don't like it..you already had planned to re-paint the whole car.

A note on adding more or a different pearl coats. Sometimes to much pearl gets cloudy looking. You would better off reapplying a new white base and then your new "midcoat" or "pearl coat". Not to mention nothing is ever as simple as just adding another coat. Im sure there are chips minor damage seeing your car is an 03. Also a repair down the line would be much easier to maintain a color match. Just my 2 cents

Thanks Steve. That's very good info to know. I doubt I would go that route though. I think I would rather just wait and put that money towards the full job. I've already done alot of...too much of that in the past..pre-spending instead of waiting
