    Found the color Im going with is changes from blue to purple ( only those two colors ) although its hard to see the purple in these pictures. It has LOTS of pearl in it. This is the sample door just to see if I was going to like the color.

    Looks like lots of flake in that paint, or is it just the reflection?

    I like the color. Not big on flake that heavy though. I'd back off on the flake a bit if it were mine. You dont want it coming out like a 70's speed boat. No offence...
    Unless you like the heavy flake then go for it. Its your car.

    It gets it color from the pearl so it has to be that heavy,

    I PM'd you a couple weeks ago, but forgot to get back with you for a final date/time. Sorry :sorry:

    Was a busy week at work and Saturday just snuck up on me, but that is still a crappy excuse for getting back to you...:(

    I like the color. The big picture will look great. I just need to look past how it looks like it's dusty :)

    Here are the door handles Im probably going to use. I like how they sit pretty flush. I will have to change where it pushes on the door latch. Will also have to do something about the key lock. maybe try and make it work with a older ford key. Shouldnt be to big of a deal. All this is deing done to a sample door first incase I mess up along the way. :cry:

    Your abilities amaze me. I wish I could do half as good a work as you.

    My car would have been done years ago.
