that's a little wild for me, but wow... how much paint would I need to give him to paint the car, he';s using an air compressor and sprayer probably... also, where can I buy that paint from?

depends on the quality of paint and work you want done. what color is the car currently? are you also painting the door jambs, under hood and trunk area? any dings on the body? the darker the color, the more flaws that will be shown.

personally ive always liked gunmetal grey.

I think 5L will do the trick for the body. Not including under the hood and trunk area; outside only.

I've always liked gunmetal grey too! Such a nice colour.

This car can look anything from a pale grey all the way through to a deep grey/purple.

AH yes... Kurt's car is definitely a head turner... he's on Auscam too I'm sure... haven't heard from him in a while though.

I'll tell you now - that Cam isn't dark blue lol... it's classed as "Storm Grey" here in Australia.. everyone else calls it Gunmetal Grey. Like I said... it's dark grey, slightly bit of purple tinge to it... shows more deep when it's been polished.
