    Well i dropped off my A today so the guys can start spraying it in the morning. I am going with a flat black, flat green, pearl. It should look really cool most of the time it will look black but in the sun light it will glow a greenish color. I will post pix of it when i get it back. Oh i am also going to add ford blue scallops also.
