    i like the outer two. The inner one just looks normal silver. I know its metallic but the others are different.

    Any Updates on the Merc? When can I go see it? Let me know when your going over there again, I wanna go.
    You should do the outer two colors, use both ...Wheel/body combo. The silver sled metallic is coming across like it has some green in it. Could just be me. Photoshop it lazy. Trout

    I have silver sled still in the gallon. Sprayed a test panel, bought it for my 55 Olds and agreed, it wasn't very exciting at all, hence it still being in the gallon.

    Where are you? I might, who knows. As for the test panel this was in 04, its long since been cut up and used for patch panels. Im exit 140 on the parkway.

    Any flattened silver or grey paint is going to risk looking like primer unless you're right up close to it.

    Personally I would avoid white and all shades of grey if it's going to be flat.
