Take a plastic soda bottle cut it open spray your purple 1st then black to check the effect you want.
Useing Pearl, Candy or Metalic colors seem to work best

You can use a pop bottle to do testing on so you dont mess up your body with a color you dont like

Well i have orderd an MG ZS shell that im going to spay gray as it's there racing colours. But i also oreded an Honda S2000 shell. I think it would look really good in black but i thought to make it a little different add a glint of differnet coulor in the light.
So i thats why i thought of purple. But if you got any good ideas i open to them .
