Steve,

Silver metallic, Gold metalic, anything with "flakes" in it is a pain to
lay down without getting zebra stripes---

Pressure, distance, speed the gun travels, and how the paint is reduced
are all factors in the prevetion of zebra stripes.
Base- clear coat is the best for the prevention of this phenomina.

Unless your prepared to be masking off the whole interior, skuffing all
the interior metal, along with all the door jambs, and removing all the
rubber door seals, my advise is to keep it the same color, or as close
as possible.

Repaint the bumper's---no big deal.

Why mask the fading problem with some miracle in a can, or bottle that
won't give you long lasting results.

I used the Forever Black Ca-Ca, on my BMW, and it lasted maybe 2
weeks---I repainted them 1 year ago with urethane paint and they still
look as good as new.

OK--I'm done.

Later,
