CudaChris, Just curious what kind of automotive paint you are using that retails for US $1200.00 for a gallon. "My paint alone retails US $1200 a gallon"
I am using PPG Deltron basecoat. It is a standard refinish line that many shops use for collision work. The color is Toxic Orange PVG as seen on many Chrysler vehicles recently including the Challenger. However, this particular color (see the build thread) uses a health dose of one of the Vibrance (a premium product) color shifting toners to make the orange go from copper to tangerine.
