    What's the right color?
    « on: June 30, 2004 - 12:10:05 AM »
     I just talked to my new body guy today and he was asking me about the color.  My choice is plum crazy and he knew that. however he was asking if I want metallic or not.  I said that FC7 was a factory color and just wanted that.  He said yeah, but there are appearantly (from his paint supplier) several formulas, some including metallic and some not.

    I've seen several plum cars that seemed kinda light to me and they were metallic.  I don't know if it is a function of being metallic or that they were just light.  I like the deep rich purple so I'm leaning toward non-metallic.

    Anyone know the right answer or just have some ideas to share about it?

    Thanks.

    Peterro, if he goes through with PPG and gets the FC-7 code through them, it should be the darker Plum Crazy that you're after.  Mine turned out a little lighter because I went with Omni AU, but I think it'll still look good enough for me.
