Yeah I know all about the paint jail unfortunately. First of March will make a year. I got a few chips today. I would post a pic of them but unless you see it in person it doesn't do it justice. Unless the Indigo is in the right light it just looks like a midnight blue or darker. He first showed it to me and I was like this isn't working for me. It didn't have the pizazz I thought and was looking for. Then he brought out some kind of light that is supposed to simulate sunlight and then it really popped the color. So I think we are on the right track.

Leaning more towards the silver color for the interior although that means that everything I bought from the donor truck is the wrong shade of gray. I will have to find me a burb and blazer for interior pieces if this is the route I go. Kind of sucks but I think the lighter gray will go along with the outside paint scheme better. I might just go ahead and snap some pics of the chips anyway and throw them on here. Hopefully if I can get back there on Monday and let him know 100% that is what I want then he can start trimming everything out by the end of the week.
