    considering this paint job will be alot of work i want to get it right the first time. im sure there are people on here with alot better ideas than me. maybe someone has seen a color that looks really good. no harm in asking.

    if you realy wanna splash the cash ,yellow holds a pearl really well,i saw one at a motor show,not sure of the name of the shade but it was a bright yellow with pearl and it was stunning

    the car is silver. but it dosent really matter cause im spraying the inside, engine bay and outside and re-undersealing the underneath. have a look at my build thread corrado 20v turbo.
