Ever seen them in person? They look like someone got lazy mid way through paint process and said, "screw it, not gunna spray clear coat"
Matte clear coat man!! Clear coat is the most important in Wisconsin haha. I'm doing this specifically for rust

no matter what color you paint you're supposed to do clear coat. What I'm saying is, for your "matte/flat silver/grey or whatever" it'll look unfinished, like a primer paint job.
Silver works but grey would look unfinished. I really like the new frozen silver.
Alpine would be the easiest being a single stage color, but Henna Red is an awesome color too.

That color works cause it's a newer body style. on an E30, it'd look out of place

Im scared to do a gloss because its going to look like dick. Just saying... also, do I sand the base coat before I put on the primer? Like could that help smooth things out? And the base coat isn't that shiny right? I test painted my fender, and it didn't turn out shiny, but it looks good.

So. Micro update. Bought a new gun to spray this biotch. I need a bigger compressor though.. Bought a whole bunch of shit I don't need obviously. Started removing my rad support. Basically cutting it off, and making some brackets with this new welder
I have been working on this damn Volkswagen. Got the trans in yesterday finally, and then hopefully finishing it today. That means I have lots of extra time to work on my BMW if I finish it. Good news.sk8 or die
