Did we go with yellow?
Are you doing it right? Meaning, inside the engine compartment, door jambs, etc...
Or are they spraying the outside and when you open the hood and doors, it doesn't match.
Looking at your stable, I'm assuming you don't do things cheaply, and you did it the right way.

Yes Sir! Doing it right.
The car is old but low miles and I am spending some money on it. I just upgraded the stereo and I have some somewhat costly Vellano wheels left over from my CLS55. This is going to be done right. It's my baby but my daily driver as well. Debadged everything, color matching the wheels. Yellow base coats and several layers of pearl. Last I saw it, the hood and both doors were off.

Thank you.
Definitely will take good pics. Just got one of the Panasonic Lumix 12 megapixel cameras. We should be able to tell if there is any overspray.

I'm interested to see the finished product.
I looked at your avatar, and that has to be the best Gwagon plate!

Pics forthcoming Dino
It is a subtle pale yellow until the sun gets it then lots of pearl.
Yes, I had to do some brainstorming on the license plate.
Wifeee wanted BULETPRF but where we live folks might test that.
