[QUOTE="Av3ng3d, post: 13225523, member: 139197"] Yeah that's what I mean when I say they are a pain. It isn't the end of the world to spray them, just a bit more time consuming, and a little more costly. I'm not sure what paint line you use at your shop and of course that plays a role, some paint systems cover better than others. We spray a Lesonal solvent system at our shop (we also have a ppg waterborne system but we tend not to use that lol) it usually takes around 3 coats of base to get coverage, and 3-4 coats of pearl with the Lesonal. I'm one of two painters at my shop and usually the both of us try to pawn off the tri coat jobs on each other lol. Roughly 7 coats of paint between base and pearl and you have to let each coat flash...ugh. :D I have to agree though that you should definitely go with the a pearl white, it will look great and it will set your car apart from other sn95s. I tossed up the idea of painting mine either white, pearl white, black, or black metallic and ended up settling with the black metallic. Pearl white was a very close 2nd, but only because the cost would have been higher for me. [/QUOTE]
