This is the color I'd like to paint my 67 rs. Has anyone used it before? Some colors seem to be more difficult than others to shoot. Is there anything I should watch out for?
Thanks

Metallics are hard too shoot. You have to be very consistant with speed, mixing, etc. Temperature changes if you are shooting in your garage. I won't shoot them anymore unless a cars original color requires it.
It will look splotchy(sp) if not done right.

If you are using a base/clear system metallics are much more forgiving than with a single stage. I paint at a large collision shop and 90% of the cars are metallic, so it doesn't bother me a bit.
