finally cracked down and bought paint and clear for the torino today. so i can finally not see it in a powdery grey color we are all so familiar with. the color i wanted was 450$ a gallon, so i went with pretty much the same color only in a Shopline mix- so for everything including clear, activator, paint, reducer, strainers, mixing sticks........234$. i cant believe i waited so long to buy that! i was thinking 5-6hundred minimum.

what do you guys think of the color, im not totally sold on it....but it was close to the old color making it easy to go over rocker panels and stuff without totally gutting the car on the inside... let me know your opinion....i might use this batch to base it all out then scuff it down and spray something with a lil more yellow/gold in it....then clear it. i know i was tired of the primer grey it has been sporting for 6 months

I think you need some black on it, black body trim, or something to break it up. I always wanted a Torino, so if you don't like it I will trade you a dog :).
