Default Let's see your trx paint jobs... Looking for ideas

So I am planning on ordering my paint in the next day or two. But would like to see some paint jobs. List the colors you used.

Looking good guys. So far I am loving that light gun metal. The metallic greens are nice too.

I have seen the chart. But let's be realistic, the charts won't do some of these colors true justice without seeing them.

I am planning either a white and black gettup. Or maybe gunmetal copper. Still torn.
Would possibly like to see what dark metallic blue comes out like. Or maybe light metallic blue with gold.

Wish I could see real world what all the colors look like.

What is silver ilo pewter? That color is amazing. I'll be painting my sport kit body so need something that will work on the lexan.

I like metallic grays a lot and that pewter has a great look

Silver is an older Fascolor chrome backed with black, probably pretty hard to find anymore. It's a shame, it really pops. Proline also makes a gunmetal that came out great - not as gold tinted as the pewter. I haven't tried their basic silver yet though...I'm almost out of my old Fascolor, so I'll be switching over soon.
