im just saying.. its been coverd MANY times, and what are people going to say "do blue, do green, do red" he cant be blind so he knows what colours are and what he likes.. Well.. I vote go for white.. As you are white now, Get a nice fresh coat and your car wont have to be riped apart and motor out.. all that ****.. Unless your going to leave the bay and **** like that.

y dont u just get in contact in House of Kolor and buy a tin of the paint u like....even if its a pearl.....then give that to the guy and say paint it... I think the reason he wont paint pearl is because it costs heaps more, and he is sayin he will do labor for next to nothin....if thats the case i would spend alot of money on sh!t hot paint so all u pay for is 1-2g for paint... My 2c
