Before everyone goes on the rest of the day in this thread getting all excited, I just wanted to let you guys know, this paint is THE WORST paint I have eve rdealt with, my car in my sig I sprayed with candy apple red metalic, yea the clear coat is decent fivestar clear is not bad. The base coat is horrible, cover like crap, took about 10-14 coats to cover, and the worst part is that i sprayed my car 6 months ago and base coat has faded rediculously, I am scared this tie next year my car will be pinkish/silver, which its already getting there.

If you are looking into a really good cheap paint combo, drop 200 dollars on dupont or ppg base, and go with a Southern Polyurethane Inc clear.

I'm considering the colors for my 240. I'm leaning towards the grey, but I'm considering a lexus grey.
