i dont have the specific ratio yet... but i might just repaint the entire car :-/... i mean, i already have to paint the bumpers and side skirts, then im gonna have to blend the quarter panels and fenders cause the blitz skirts are taller than the stock, then im gonna have to paint the bottom part of the hatch after i weld up the holes where is queer wing was lol... so i'm probably just gonna repaint the entirecar withthe corvette blue without the extra pearle, that way if something happens down the road and i need to repaint it'll be easier to match... oh well, right?

well of course... but if you think about it, all that i HAVE to paint, is almost ALL of the car... the only thing that wouldnt absolutely need to get painted was the top of the hatch, the roof, and the hood cause it's carbon fiber... other than that everything is getting painted... might as well paint those other little spots too so i dont have to worry about blending and matching

thats true, i forgot about the doors, but still, those would have to get masked off anyway, and not that much extra paint either... might as well do all of it and make sure it matches instead of blending and being like "o f***, now this looks like s***! shoulda just bit the tiny bullet and painted it all at once!" besides, painting's not the hard part, its the body work, and this car doesnt need any... it'd be easier to just prep it all, mask it all, and paint it all at once (already did it one time on an eclipse, and this would be one hell of a whole lot easier!)

cause i love the blue color, and i've had a black car already... a real bitch to keep up with... and if i paint it blue then i wont have to worry about repainting the door jams, cause it'll be close enough to match that
