All,
So work has finally let me fit in some bench time and this beast needs to be done! Unfortunately, I am just not set on the paint job. It's AK Interactive Sinai Gray over black pre-shading. I even sprayed some semi-gloss to get ready for decals but I am now not sure. It just doesn't seem right to me. Any feedback would be great to make it more realistic. I am thinking a black coat, followed by Sinai Gray to darken it up, and then some lighted Gray to add some fading, anything would be great. Thanks.
Tim

Might be a bit dark perhaps. Then again when you look at pictures with multiple vehicles in them every one seems to be a different shade/tone though ostensibly they are the same color. If you like it then I wouldn't sweat it but if not you can always repaint. Good luck.
