Custom Paint

I doubt I will ever have the money for it but has anyone seen a "chrome shadow" Acura? I just love this color. I understand it's tough to replicate and really friggin' expensive.

beautiful color. i remember seeing this pic of a stock integra with a similar color (obviously not as nice as the m3's though). i'm almost positive that it was a stock color, even though it was probably only in production for a year. anyone know what i'm talking about?

the stainless look fad came and went with the delorean of the early 80's

I bet Pimp Daddy Sundance Gold in a similar luster/shine would be unbelievable in person to see.

Florescent (sp?) lighting brings out more imperfections than regular lighting...go to any detail shop...if they DON'T have florescent bulbs all over, go somewhere else

IMO, it's better to view a car under the bulbs instead of outside so u can get a TRUE sense of scratches, swirls, quality of paint, etc.
