How's it more of a bitch than any other color? Even if you don't do the engine bay, it'll look okay.

you are supposed to sand the entire car.. well put it this way my color is called blaze crystal red pearl.. and then we added a little bit of red pearl.. with base, clear reducer, hardener, enhancer, and house of kolor pearl. i had 550 in paint and that was at cost paint is not cheap.. also if you are at all picky put out the extra cash and pay someone to do it.. the money , time, effort, aggrovation, and feeling of dispare you have when you realize that its gona cost you more to pay someone to fix your f -up plus all the money u put out to f- it up yourself

Sorry to ruin your plans , but you'll thank us in the long run. It is really hard to paint an entire car and I'm not speaking from experience, I just know how hard it was for a small part, I can't imagine how pissed off I'd be doing the whole car.

Try to ignore the car, and pay attention to the color it's wearing. The pic doesn't show it as well as I'd like, but it's the best I could find. It's like a really dark turquoise...like my cypress green with more blue added.
