Default Painting the gs
I have a few questions...I'm sending the gs for body work and paint this weekend...what's the closest color to cinnabar??? Thinkin of a slight color change without doin the jambs and all that.. And will orange pearl look good??? Reason I ask is because the car has a orange look when its in the sun and I want more of the orange look...or should I just keep the stock 3n1 cinnabar color??? Opinions needed please

If you aren't going to do it properly (door jambs ect.) keep it the same color.

Tell the painter to add a heavier midcoat (if the cinnabar is a tri coat) that would help the pearl to stand out a little better.
