NEW PAINT JOB!!!!!!! soon...

Well I work at a body shop and the head painter who is looking to go on his own and open his own custom shop is going to paint my car for me... all I have to do is the prep work... and hey thats what I do all day so im good... anyway... I want to keep it silver and since he isnt charging me anything for labor just material... I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what I should get for custom graphics thats what he wants to do in his own shop so I was just going to let him have at it and do what ever he wants to it... any ideas would be great... I am thinking of doing a tri coat system... a base silver with a blue pearl clear over the silver and all the graphics...its pretty much up to him what he does graphic wise but I can tell him what I like and dont... any help would be great thanks...

-Justin

this guy does great work he has been the head painter at my shop for 6 years he does lots of custom work good stuff... and he isnt charging me because im going to allow him to put his logo on it so I can advertise for him when he gets his own shop... so all I have to pay for is paint and I get that cheap because I work at a body shop and I just order it from our supplier... so yea... but I think the one condition for me to not have to pay him is if I let him do graphics and put his name... so what do you guys think...I mean ive seen his work and its amazing... but I do have final say over everything...

im keeping it silver... that way I dont have to do the door jambs or or the engine bay... I was thinking of doing silver with a blue pearl and that way it would have a blue tint to it when you look at it in a certain light
