I really like that blue.

I wouldn't use any of those other colors for an entire car though, especially an Alero. IMO:
metal colors are ideal for accents (like wheels, dials, light housings, etc),
lime green is good for pinstriping on lowriders.
As for the aqua: Kyle (turbo-alero, or whatever name he's going by now) used a very similar color and it came out fairly decent.


I couldn't tell you one way or another about the quality of that brand's paint though.

that paint is total garbage. and i believe its one stage paint on top of it sucking. wouldnt put it on my car anyways.

with paint you definately get what you pay for. if you buy cheap paint its gonna look like a cheap paint job period.

oh and if your a begginer in the world of auto painting i highly recommend using DUPONT products. VERY forgiving to work with. i learn that the hard way.

gun metal for sure. That lime green is hideous. It would make you car look like a rolling lime. Keep it simple stick with the gun metal.

Like they said pay for different paint. I love the gunmetal color though.

I am going to try that DUPONT paint when I do my car.
