LOL...i gotta confess,i was a lil bit selfish when i suggested that colour...as i was seriously thinking about painting one of mine metalic orange,and i wanted to see what it looked like if done....
yup pretty decent colour me thinks,shows off a cars curves very nicely,and not too ginger beer as well ...
yep...it seems like the your painter is the problem...as an amateur painter myself machan i gotta say it's not an easy job painting a car right.....i've been doin it for awhile now and i'm still rubbish...
find a decent painter who understands colour combo's and stuff,and has a decent paintgun and a compressor(yes they do matter)...a paint booth is not enirely neccessary imo,but do not spray if raining or if rain is expected later.....good luck!
