    Looks like you either got overspray on it toward the bottom or needs to be sanded down..either way the gold looks great.

    Gold fascias, Gold GPOs to match, Bronze wheels (Like a Boss), Blue Calipers. A little will go along way.

    Don't over-do it and it will look good... I think.

    i like the color combo. but like tlshelf said dont over do it. subtle things will make it unique and not make it look bad or like there is to much going on.

    1997 GTP . repainted in jet black with blue pearl. And some other goodies 160,000 miles and still running strong.

    Yea actually I banged my bottom fascia awhile back and I never sanded it down. This was a quick mock up with Plastidip to be honest lol. Tomor I will be doing it correctly and I will be doing the wheels and the rear fascia as well. Thanks for the input guys. Keep em coming. You think red calipers would work as well?

    Do the rear fascia in it too, because that flows really well!
    Does removing the spare count as weight reduction?

    No worries, I'm used to it... oddly enough. It was close enough I didn't worry, had to take a double take to even notice, almost over looked it myself.

    OP... why have you not added more pictures yet? GET GOIN MR.!!! I want to see some contrast!

    make sure you get a blue thats really close to the color of your car. when you are trying to do the calipers the same color as your car, you need to try to get as close to a match in color as you possibly can, otherwise it will look stupid.

    You didn't tape off the tires so now you have to spray the tires too. Can't have you looking half-assed now can we??? Do It!
