Black paint job on a third gen ?
I work in a body shop and I'm going to be painting my 88 Formula and getting the dings taken care of very soon. It's always been a straight gloss black.
What color black would you guys go with? A straight up gloss black or would you go for one of the new pearl blacks out there? I'm starting to really LOVE LOVE LOVE the black sapphire pearl on the BMWs, not sure how I'd like it on a third gen though.
I don't have any new pics. I just got a black leather interior out of a 4th gen for her and I'm looking for a new aero wing. I have black GTA wheels, black outs for the tail lights and the car is getting a new cowl hood cause the cheap ass one that currently is on the car doesn't fit well and it's chewing up the fiberglass on the edges......
Help me pick a black I will like PLEASE!!!!
Here is the car when I first got it for reference
