At least I'm not wearing a full face ski mask. My wife already told me I look like one of the guys from South Park. Hey, a ski cap, gloves, and and a heater (standard issue from SPF) that works half the time, and I'm good for anything above 40 degrees.
Sounds like you're close. Can't wait to see your car.

Maxum 101,
Yeah, that's my car but it is just now being finished so I don't really have good pictures yet. The titanium is the regular SPF titanium but the graphite is a custom color -- it's a PPG Lexus graphite color. You pay extra for the custom color from SPF (they will only use PPG brand by the way) but then you have a somewhat unique car. Your SPF dealer should have a paint sample of the titanium you can borrow and take down to your local PPG automotive paint dealer to pick out a stripe color. There is a ton of stuff to know about automobile paint, especially metallic. Characteristics such as "face", "flop", granularity etc. were foreign to me so I gave the very knowledgeble guy behind the counter a couple of $20's to help me through the process which took quite a while. I had no intention of buying paint from him and was up front with that which is why I insisted on giving him some dough for his help.
Make sure you take the sample outside in the sun when choosing since that is how your car will be mostly viewed. Lighting has a big effect on how a color looks. Photography is a hobby of mine so I'm pretty sensitive to color -- the particular color I chose is a basic Lexus graphic modified with just a slight touch of yellow face and a slight touch of blue flop. Metalic colors look darker when viewed at a small angle (flop) as opposed to a steep angle (face). See, I told you it wasn't as simple as you might think. Get help from a pro like I did and the process will be fun.
Here are a couple of photos taken when the roller was in the showroom. There was bad mixed lighting going on when the photos were taken. Daylight coming thru the building's windows, flourescent lighting coming from above and flash coming off the camera. So, remember what I said about how lighting affects how a color looks so don't assume the colors of these photos exactly match reality. That is why I was hesitant to attach the photos.
As a point of interest look below and check out these paint flaws that came from the SPF factory. The first photo below shows a flaw below the passenger door and the second below the ventilation duct. SPF is having these fixed on their nickle, no questions asked. And to finally drive home a point ... these flaws were INVISIBLE inside the shop. You have to look at them from just the right angle under daylight to see them. See what I mean about metallic colors having quirks?

Hi SandyC thanks for the reply, gotta say that is a awsome color combo, i love the titanium but was a little iffy on the black stripes but i do like the black, but was leaning more towards a color that would better go with the titanium, what are the chances of you sharing that secret lexus graphite ppg paint code with me?
i havnt made my move on a car yet all due to color choices,
what motor and tranny combo are you going to use?

Titanium with graphite stripes.
BTW, if you go with a custom stripe color that is metallic make sure the metallic granularity of the stripe matches that of the titanium, otherwise it won't look right.

titanium paint code?
Hi beautiful car, does anyone now the paint code for superformance titanium?
I did buy a sample of lamborghini silver, and it's wayyyyy to pewter/ almost a golden silver. Apparently lamborghini's silvers are many. I ve called superformance, and they still have not called back. ready to paint my car and I'm having a hard time finding the right silver.
Thanks
Daniel
