Use a www.google.com search for the Trans Am cars. You'll fill up your hard-drive! The Stock Color schemes are very hard to beat - as the angularity of the 'Humpers' and that swooping sail panel have a language all their own. I went rounds on this with my '72 AMX before it was stolen . Understand that the Race Car Paint 'Qualities' were captured from an American Flag.. yes .......not just their being RWB - and that is why they seem sorta' weak sometimes and then in the right light - they work. I would not do this in any Pearl. Having gone thru the 'Paint' fever myself - I've come away not putting Pearl on anything outside of a 'Trick' Show vehicle. Cadillac used the Pearl on their 2 seater years ago - and it only looks right at night under lights. In daylight after some mileage it looks c'heesy'. If I'm reading your post correctly - I would notch up the paint with the type of Metallic VW is currently using - but not as much - 'just a Taste' . That will add the richness 'Gleam' aspect which I felt missing in the Factory Paints at different light exposures Too much and the contrasts will be out of s'ync' - . Go conservative with the Metallic Effect & the Subtlety will be a winner . I'm currently shopping paint for the Kammback......... so class is in session ! Brien.
