i like the paint job. it looks very clean. if another csvt owner saw it driving down the street they would have to turn around and go "wait a minute, i dont recall that being one of the colors...it must be custom but it looks stock.." thats a clean low key paint job for you. i think it came out very well. I'm sure the pearls look ten times better in person.
for myself, when i do a color change, (i have twice and hopefully never will again), i like to go for something clean but something everyone can look at and say "ok, that's not the factory color". I love burnt orange myself, like the recent model eclipses. a darker shade of burnt orange. but, some people think that' too flashy.
I had my wife's mx-6 repainted. it was that horrible dark hunter green that everyone in the mid-90s wanted. i didnt want to pull the engine out so i wanted to stic with a green. we went with Ford Mustang green, kinda like del sol green but not as flashy. Car fans everywhere loved it. her friends and family were like "ewww thats ugly, you should have left it the classy dark green it was...." SO, the moral of the story is, no one likes to put work into their ride, especially a lot of it, to have people, especially their comrades, tell them they disapprove and shouldn't have done it. It's kinda like winning the big game and someone coming up to you and saying "yeah, but your team didn't score as much as last year's big winner, in fact, you guys barely even won."
