Looks like similar paint to the new 'Mystic' Cobra Ford are bringing out. Looks good man. At the end of the day though, as long as you're happy with it then that's all that really matters. Wish you luck with it.

thanks for the support, unfortunetly, my car will sit as is till tuesday. the body shop ordered 4 pints, and unfortunetly the ratio for this paint is 1:1, so he needed another pint to do the bumpers and all my interior panels, and it comes from tennessee and since it is hazardous material, it can only ship ground (stupid FAA regs). so it wont get here till tuesday and paint it on wednesday(maybe tuesday), clearcoat on thursday(maybe wednesday) (all non-heat drying) and colorsand/buff on friday.
I had some rims i wanted in mind when i had my black/blue theme, but since i changed that know, i changed my mind on the volk le-37t's. and they are too played out. i want something different. so im trying to hook up with some different vendors for a sponsorship, but if i can't for some reason, ill buy some. how about some recommendations??

As long as the rest of the car is done tastefully ..READ(no knock off rims etc) then I cant wait to see the finished product.

it looks really nice in person, the pictures dont do it justice, and the fact that some of you would compare my car to a ghetto style corolla is insulting. It is looked at by every person who walks into the shop.
as far as the paint, PPG, H of K, are all much less expensive, but SW paints are THE BEST hands down..
