I might have missed it but are you going to pinstripe it? add a accent color?

Imm diggin that custom touch to the Kona Blue
Thanks, I haven't decided if I'm going to do an accent color or ??

Thanks. I hope you're healing well.  I took a fender outside and boy did it sparkle!

The metallic flake in there is very striking and like everyone else said, should really look nice in the sun.  I like it a lot, I've always been a fan of blue vehicles.

The wife says that with the added "Sparkle" that I should run these chrome Foose Legends and not the wheels in the next pic.

I vote for the Foose wheels, but I'm definately not a fan of black wheels.

I think if you did the center of the grill and black headlight buckets it would make it look real mean with the trim around the windows blacked out and such.

I like these black wheels because of the silver groove.

I do plan on all the trim, mirrors, grill center being a satin black. That's why I was looking at the Falken wheels. I think they would tie into the rest of the car nicely.

Better than the idea of a friend who's a manager at the O'rilley part store..........Copper centers and polished lips on the wheels that I already have with the Bird emblems and some interior accent pieces in the copper as well.

The copper idea Imo would look good on a black car, or silver one. i vote for the Foose wheels too, the sparkle in the paint should match the wheels well.

You might respond with, "Yeah, sounds great!  I can't wait to see what that looks like when you do that to your 'Bird"... ;)

Actually he has a Acura TL. But I am waiting for him to do his car. My wife said EEEWWWWWWW!!! LOL

Here's a couple of pics of the bird waiting for paint. I'll be spraying it tomorrow.
