NAPA
is gm paint scheme
i dont know brand of paint
but reducer is crossfire, paint might be same
i did my brothers g8 hood for his cobalt turbo a couple months back with same type stuff but victory red it came out great
 
It is the crossfire paint for that price. It is a value line/grade paint & be advised that you will not get as good of color coverage as if you were to step up a grade in paint, this will be especially evident when you are doing a color change. You may very well end up w/ several more coats than anticipated with this line & it's very doubtful that you can do a complete color change including all jambs & under the hood with one gallon. It took nearly a gallon to do my t-red & that was just the complete outside, the same color that it was.

What color is the car now?



edit: if it's the multi-color car in your cardomain page...I'd suggest priming it all out w/ a light color primer to ensure you'll wind up w/ even color.

i am priming it with a very light gray first almost white, and only the door jams are gonna be done for the inside, under the hood and trunk of have blankets the heat shield ones.
