      It would suck if you get in a crash or just crack your bumper... the paint will be nearly impossible to duplicate unless you'll repaint like half the car...

      I love the orange color, but like Serega said, it's impossible to match pearl paint if anything happens to it. Look great tho!

      Its not that hard.. i used to do it 2-3 times a week.
      :P


      and thats only tricoats, lots of high pearl colors are traditional 2 stage paints. Which blend like any other color.

      Most pearls are actually easier than heavy metallic (silver) colors to spray..

      hmmmm.. got me thinking now.. loll
      but i think i may stick with white still as white looks much more slicker and stylish.. were as orange jus looks like im a lil bad boy racer with a done up car..
      i want some sort of class to the car as well.. if even at all possible...

      I'm not saying it's a bad thing... I just hope you used your respirator... many painters I know are not doing too well later in life 'cause their lungs are full of overspray... and they say it's not good for you or something..
