House of Kolor "True Blue Pearl" is a close match topped with a matte clear coat. Un-cleared base coat is a disaster waiting to happen...base coat is extremely thin and susceptible to damage from many sources; abrasion, chemicals, etc. Base coat will even disolve when wiped down with pre-paint degreaser. Quite a few manufacturers are offering a satin/matte clear coat product line these days.

I am not an expert on paint by any stretch of the imagination. But what I have noticed over the time I have been part of the FTE family, is that what looks good on one truck may not look good on the next. For instance a full custom may look good in a color that a bone stocker dose not. If you have, or have access to a computer with photo shop on it, you could play around with different colors, or even body types and see what you like. Its like getting a 1"x1" paint chip at a big box store to paint a room in your home. I have made a few horrendous mistakes in that field, yuck. Anyway good luck with your project, and don't forget we love pics.

Jimmy I have made a few of those Yuck jobs also.
Like almost no matter what colors ya mix together
when emptying out several cans of paint to make one
gallon. All the times I have done this it came out some
shade of chitmucklle brown. One time even metallic.
Ugly to say the least they was.
