Robin's egg blue - Paint the entire car that color - engine, tranny, - everything, Then mix up three gallons of intercoat clear, with 3 tbsp. of gold flake. Spray that over the blue, then use a cherry red tinted clearcoat over that, and finally 3 coats of clear, block with 800 grit, two more coats of clear, cut and buff.
Now for the interior. Red dash and door panels, silver carpet, turquoise seats with chestnut vachette inserts.
After all that, plus all the other work, you'll get a couple of boatloads of offers for $500, and one from some weido for $50,000.

I know exactly how you feel. And it's a slippery slope - "Hmmm...while she's up in the air and I've got all this stuff off, I might as well fix the ______" ...and there goes another $100++ in parts. Insanity, I tell you.Nothing like new parts. I might as well sign my pay check over to The Birds Nest.

Well I just winged it. First I spayed the areas to be coated with solvent. This stuff from crest really works.
Now I am not talking about old undercoat, just the dirt and mud build-up that did not come off with the pressure washer. While the surface is still wet scrape with a razer scraper.
Bought 3 of them from Harbor Freight for cheap. Wipe down the surface that has not evaporated. Spray the undercoat and by the way, the Dupli-Color goes on thick and covers well.
