I like the color. THe car itself needs an accent of the bronze though. I may get flamed for this but honestly I think painting your side mirrors bronze would complete the look. You know what, when you get some pics of the car cleaned up, you should do some photochops and play with some bronze accents.
But if you aren’t too keen onthe bronze look, gunmetal wheels would look good.

You did a great job, but that color would look good on a black or red car…not silver. Definetly go to gunmetal.

Ok, after much debate (and my wife telling me so, lol) I’ve decided to change the color to gunmetal. Thanks for everyone’s input!
