House of colors if money is no object, but I have to agree PPG makes nice paint too. Then again I'm use to gray or black primer lately. I had an old drag racer tell me once to keep it in primer since making it look nice doesn't make it go faster.

I often wondered if that was true or not and I did read a study once stating that the smoother the finish the less wind resistance resulting in less drag so technically there would be a benefit in having a nice finish on a car but I don’t know if anyone ever did any testing on this subject.
