Paint Finally!

For the rest of this year, I am working on restoring my car. Getting it painted the end of June. Prepping from now till I paint it. Here is the paint scheme: 2 tone, charcoal and red. It will be the metallic grey off a s2000 for the top half of the car, and mandatory red off of a 92 Firehawk, all graphics will be ghosted in, the pinstripe, and all the factory decals. Which include, the outline style hood bird, and the Trans Am fender and bumper names. How does this sound?

Re: Paint Finally!

Can't picture the paint scheme, but it sounds like it should be nice. Where is the separation between colors happening with your design?

Re: Paint Finally!

does anyone know what the best and cheapest sound deadening/ heat insulation is? i have read about peel and seal, but it is asphalt based and it gets hot as hell here and I don't want that stuff to melt
