need help.

Its time to fix the paint job I had and this time I'm going for show car quality. I have been contemplating over color choice. Stick with same color or ferrari red, go white or pearl white, metallic gray, or chrome. I do like the chrome, but not sure what it would look like on our cars. I plan to have a shop do chrome on the gas door to see how good it would be, but if one of you guys good with photoshop can make my car chrome I would appreciate it.

This is what it looks like now.



This is the type of chrome I like.

i am impressed on how cheap they did that job! it looks great! i would say 2400$ with bodywork, and r&i all components and jamming doors/hatch/engie bay. i would say you made out like a bandit.

we did a vette at my shop( theres a thread in off topic) and 3000$ was too cheap.. i was paid 40hrs, and i spent 100~ hrs to make it look right for personal satisfaction.

anyway, great job.
