My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

Lots of sanding and polishoing and sanding has been going on with the wheels. I can't seem to get the finish I want. Always a little line I see that I take out. lol
But onto a question. My car needs paint. I have two colors I'm debating. It will either be Cosmos or Diamond. I like the idea of Diamond because I've never been a huge fan of black, but it won't match my jams and bay. Also because it only came on a very very small number of e36's. I was thinking Cosmos because it would match my jams and bay and would be metallic. It would also look really good in the light compared to plain gloss black.
So what do you guys think, Cosmos or Diamond?
P.S.- TJ, no smart ass comments=P lol

i think plain gloss black looks better in the light than cosmos. to me cosmos always just looks like you have black paint covered with a layer of dust/dirt.

That's why cosmos would work better. It is pretty much just Schwarz II with metal flake and I believe a little pearl. They all revolve around black=) If I got Diamond Schwarz I would get paint mixed after the fact and spray the Jams myself. I like Diamond Schwarz more than Cosmos myself, but I don't believe it would blend into the jams well and thats the tradeoff. Bay color really doesn't matter to me because I won't have it open for anyone to see unless there is a different motor ever. lol

I hope it isn't a 95 of he is asking that price. And she better be rust free. Lol the 95's for some reason are worth significantly less. Ti's aren't worth anywhere near as much as their sisters. And does it have fat trim and m style rear bumper? That'd be a sport model then.
Edit: FYI, mine had 148,000 miles and was rust free and I paid $2200

That is shiny as.... I don't even know.

Wheels and tires are finally on=) I need to roll and pull the rears more. It settled about an inch on the ride home last night.
Rubs on bumps due to being less than 1/8" between the fender and tire. lol I'll try to get a picture later after I roll and wash
the beast. BTW, the rust I though I had a problem with on the rear just turned out to be paint bubbling due to moisture
getting under. So it is SOLID!!! Also have 8 more cans of Le' Plasti Dip on the way, bringing that to 14 to do the whole car.
Lets hope it comes before next thursday!!! Getting there.
