Thanks guys. the paint doesn't have a name, I don't think. all I have is a ppg #. its a 2007 GM white. I'm going to take a few day away from it after its wet sanded. so I don't get in a hurry. and mess something up.  the dash cap I think is going to suck to put on.  I still have all the other parts to get painted. oh well its getting there. takes time.
Hammer. I still have not herd form any one about putting my decals on.

White gold - that'll look sweet.  You'll want to get a white letter tire pen - that'll keep it looking sharp.
