        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.

                          Sand after every coat. Gloss isn't hard to fuck up. It's a single stage paint, it's fucking bullet proof.

                                  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.
