You're better off with black. That silver won't match what you paint your car unless you paint the whole car that color. The black would be better then mismatched silver.

Definately want to see the results when you are done Wayfast. Might be a good answer for my nearly nonexistant budget.
Do you have a high res camera? Black is such a pain in the *** to get right.

Matt you're just doing the engine bay for now right? Any body panels you can practice on afterward to see what the paint looks like on the outside?
