Finally chose my color!
Well, I haven't been on here in a while... I have been cruising the car for a bit though! :) I was going to paint it gunmetal but after spraying a test panel had a change of heart. It just didn't stand out and I wasn't satisfied. I went with a completely different color that I had custom made and threw a little flake in it. My thought process was that I loved mopars wild colors (greens, purples, etc) but they were just a little too common and somewhat plain for me. I had my hesitations but was reminded by my cousin that so far my visions on other projects have not failed me haha... I've done paint before (my motorcycle and small parts here and there) but this is my first time doing metal work, body work and paint completely by myself. Here goes nothing:
A little update on the car and mods I did to the body:
Shaved drip rails (gutters)
Shaved antenna
Shaved top mounted indicators
Shaved front and rear marker lights
Shaved all moldings, trim and emblems
Original color choice:
The final color is an olive green metallic I had custom mixed specifically to my vision. Here is the car as it was previously, and some of the work in progress...
On to the color:
