Prowler Orange, its a stock color from the 2001 prowlers. It can be mixed. its got 2 pearls and a metalic in it.

Heres where you can notice the pearls.





in the first one you can see the yellow in it.

in the 2nd one you can just see how much darker it can get...it can get darker.

also under dim flourescent light it has a Lot of Green! in it.

How much does that paint run? I'm trying to find a color close to red, so I don't have to paint in all the cracks. But that color is just beautiful. It's a toss-up between that, or Viper red. I wanted blue, but that and red don't go well together.
Is there a site I can go to instead of calling about paint prices? I just want the paint, I am thinking of doing it myself.
Thanks

OK, I own a 91' Bird with the LO3, and I was planning on spending all my money in the future on making it scream like hell. I thought, I love the looks of mine, just needs to be faster......... until now! Dam, I friggin love that, that is gorgeous. Maybe I'll do something like that, and spend a little money to get my car into the 14's and be done. WOW! LOVE IT! You guys agree?
Oh yeah, would it be possible for anyone to display a pic of what a 91' would look like with that hood? Different GFX might screw it up?

Whew! Beautiful car, dude! Where'd you get that sweet rear wing? Are those ZR1 wheels? That paint job is probably double the price I paid for my car, but it sure looks awesome! How much exactly are we talking for that job?

I forget how much exactly the paint it self would be....its mixed, you dont have to buy it pre-made.

But the paintjob cost me $5,000 that includes molding, 4th gen emblems, stripping entire car, wet sand/buff job
