Damn good advise. i use the hell out of etching primer, and swear by it!

Also, there is no way just to know exactly what color that is without asking, or going to a good paint store, and having them put a tester on it, that will tell what color it is by reflection nad refraction, ppg stores have these, atleast the one that i used to go to in Pensacola Fl did. IMO it looks just like the color my good friend randall painted his impala, which is pepsi blue.

I don't know but if you go to House of color paints they have some of the craziest color combos I have ever seen. I am trying to figure out what color to paint my custom chopper now and they have some serious head turning color combos with candies and pearls.
