thanks guys, painting it is not a problem I can do it myself (paint booth) & i am not building it to sell. What got me thinks is. I am really leaning towards painting the car Dark Titanium used 07-08 chryseler & dodge cars & trucks,(going for a elegent, sleek look), thought it would look good on a smoothed & shaved car. but my wife thinks it will be very hard to sell down the road, stating that most of the cars at hotrod shows are bright colored. what do you guys think about the color?
