I went to the paint shop, looked at a few cars, and found a white compatible with the gray: 1997 BMW "Alpine White" Underhood, Dupont F1151. Mixed for top coat. It's slightly more putty than top coat "Alpine White III". Keleigh -- "1999 Audi TT Aviator Grey Perl Effect" is actually a metallic; very faint and fine metal. I'm having it mixed WITHOUT the metal. Thanks for finding this out for me! I'm gonna paint it gray on TOP and white on BOTTOM. I fully realize this is upside down from tradition, but it works because there is so little "up" above the beltline. See these photos: http://www.wps.com/temp/hornet-side-gray-up.jpg http://www.wps.com/temp/hornet-side-white-up.jpg (I apologize for the TERRIBLE Photoslopped images; I didn't bother to do a good job.) Wheels will be gray. Grille etc will be white. Bumpers, probably white but I'll work that out. I strip it of doodads tomorrow and drop it off... FINALLY!
