    Bpryz, what do you mean by accent color....? Do you mean a nice speckled jet black basecoat, with a very light misting of like a burnt orange on top?

        Sorry I didn't specify, I meant painting little pieces like bolts and engine covers, heel plates, and calipers. I'll try and find some pictures when I get home from work

              are you using a rattle can or do you have a compressor and spray gun you are using?

                Go to a local NAPA shop and go through some paint books and decide a color from there. Thats how I found my sunburst orange <---

                  umm at this point its rattle can....i was going to use incom tax money to buy a 60gal compressor / tank, but i gota put a new clutch into my 3000gt.......went a little hard at the track last year lol! But yes, its rattle can.
                  I actually found what im going to use.... Went to Alsacorp.com and found two really nice colors im going to use. Aegean Blue and a basecoat of Metalic pearl Nevada silver

                    I am stuck with the same delima. I think I'm going with bright orange. I have narrowed it down to that or yellow and black. My other Suzuki's are all yellow and black, and I think look good. You can have rattle can paint mixed to whatever color you want now. If you take your time and know what you are doing it can make a good paint job.

                      before you get all into this project, and it sounds like a cool project, keep in mind that you can just toss a basecoat of a light colour, and cover it with a dark colour. You wont even notice the basecoat. Unless you can get a transperant blue or blue pearl in a claer coat shooting the silver is a waste of time and money. Sorry to burst your bubble like that. your pearls and metallics are a top coat product. see if you can find a pearl blue clear coat and spray that on the silver. it'll give it an awesome shine and a really nice effect on all the edges and corners.
