No doubt that paint isn't cheap, but it would definitely be a nice color, but then the car needs to have good body line'* and curves to make the color 'show it'* true color'. The 1992-1999 Bonneville'* are prime examples of exquisite sculpturing.

The striping looks great. What sucks about mine is when I take my car to car washes and it starts to peel off. I'm not even using a brush or sprayer neither.

sweet95ssebonnie -Sounds like you need some 3M quality pinstriping. Every time I've used 3M Pin Striping I have never had a problem, nor has my dad who'* done pinstriping to many of his vehicles over the past 20+ years.
I bought some discounted stuff a couple years ago and I applied the stuff to a perfectly clean car (my first Bonneville -the original Ol Blue Eye'*), and put a coat of wax on top of it and less than two weeks and 2 washes later almost half of it was peeling off from heat. Apparently that was why Auto Value had it discounted to $1 per roll.

another thing I forgot to say regarding mods. The car was owned by an older lady. (late 60'*). It had 58,000 miles on it. She threw a rod and it busted another rod and busted through the block. The dealer where she traded it in found a 3800 II in a 2003 Buick LeSabre that was totalled. The LeSabre only had 3000 actual miles on it when totalled. They put the 3000 mile, factory 3800 in my 97. So I have a 97 with only (now) 5000 miles on the brand new, factory engine. So this lady should last me years and years. And I feel like I committed a felony robbery on the deal I made on it. I got a great deal. Caught the dealer at a slow time, and they were willing to do whatever to make a sale. Just proud as punch over it.
