Please help me decide on a color...

[Mr. Wolfe]

Thanks. It is so close. I wonder what a little yellow would do to get just a "touch" of turquoise. Is this something a paint mixer could do when I find a paint shop? Is this something I could buy from you/your shop?

Yeah wherever you take it to get painted should be able to mix up whatever you like just be careful going custom mixed. If you can't get a exact formula it will be a royal pain to match later if you need to. I would try to stick to a oem or manufacturer "formula". I could mix you paint if I was painting it but does t make much sense since any body shop should be able to find what you need. Words of wisdom when finding a shop ask to see the paint booth. Find one with a down draft, and look for clean.

Thanks for the words! my dad has painted cars for over 60 years and I have painted panels, but never an entire car. This will be my first job myself (with my father looking over me). I will be building a temporary paint booth for this project. I know, not ideal, but we have had some beautiful results in the past doing this.

Just out of curiosity, is there any chance I could pay you to send that painted piece to me? I understand if this is not feasible.

Thanks again, really appreciate the help.

Not a problem. Glad to be able to help where I can since I've gained so much from people here. If I get a chance today I'll mix some up and do a spray out for you.

Bravo!

[gart]

Yeah I can send it off to you. Pm me with info.

Looking now, thanks!

What about Yas Marina? Not exactly retro but might look good on a properly done e30. Maybe more suited to a late model Mtech II though.

It's too "periwinkle" for me.

Maybe I smoked crack this morning but it looks like the spray out got a tad more blue as it dried overnight. I think it is going to be pretty close to what you are looking for. I'll drop it in the mail this afternoon.

Hey, I won't judge.

Thanks again E!
