What shade of rustoleum did you use mate? It's about the shade I want to use. Car is looking great too.
Are you planning on painting the top side to is it mint enough?

Yeah I know it's grey, but when I looked on their site they had several shades. I'll make a guess and live with it.
Keep up the great work
