Well if you just want an opinion I'd go with the blue pearl, too many grays as it is. And there IS NO cheap/good paint. That's one area you just can't cheap out on and expect it to hold up.

If you are trying to save $$ then pick a paint color close to the current color. That way you won't need extra for those hidden/hard to reach areas.
Also you can get good paint or cheap paint. not both.
If you want really cheap you can do what we did to our race car. 4 cans of Rust-oleum from Home Depot. Looks great from the Grandstands.

I am going to try the roller paint job. I have a gallon of straight flamingo black from Val Sparmy friend got me for 50 bucks because he works there. If you can pick it up you can have it. I can not find anyone to spray it. Every shop i go to say they want to make there own paint in case they have a problem. I t is pretty much useless to me, that is why i am going for the roller paint job. You have a friend that will spray it. You will have to mix it though 1 cup of paint 2 cups of thinner. I don,t have the thinner. I would check val spar products. Never mind you are in California
