Color is tough - and expensive. I bought exactly the colors I thought would be just right for my car. Wrong. I have several hundred dollars worth of that "wrong" paint sitting in my basement. It might have looked nice on your car, but for sure the trial panels I did for mine - terrible.

Jay has a good feeling for colors - and I wish I had "talked" to him before I bought the "wrong" color.

And yes, anything that has red pigment and/or pearl goes out of dollar sight very quickly. List on my final choice, a DuPont ChromaBase OEM color was in the neighborhood of $650 three years ago.
