please guys, i need some help deciding what shade of blue and silver i want to use, or if that is what i want to use. i just know that i love the blue with silver gfx i have seen in the past and blue is my favorite color. i want to use a different shade than stock most likely but i want it to be stock pattern because i think that looks the best...

thanks in advance!
Josh

You went with the good stuff then. I just bought a combo deal at my local RMS store. Gallon of wa8774 red base, gallon of clear, hardener, sealer, thinner, tape, paper and even a bucket to mix it in for 230$ then again its OMNI paint. Not the greatest but I'm not looking to make a show car. No matter what paint I get its gonna show wear anyways...hell its a street car.
