Stay away from using any metallics if this is your first paint job . They are too easy to get blotchy for a beginner . I would suggest a light shade of a solid color . Of course white would be the best to hide body work imperfections , but a light shade of yellow or orange works also . Believe it or not , when I was painting my wife's hugger orange trans am years ago , I got a run in it on the lower part of an air dam and just went ahead and ran it all the way to the floor . Looked pefect when I was done . I'd recommend a paint kit from Summit racing . I used one on my T-bucket last winter with excellent resuts . One gallon of paint and everything else you need for about $125 . It is an acrylic urethane . I think a hugger orange would look real tough on your 'runner. Be sure to follow the mixing instructions . If you mess up you can sand it in a day or two and try again . Color sand with 1500 grit followed by 2000 grit and then power polish and it looks like a pro did it . As for jazzing up the paint job. A couple rolls of pin stipe from the auto parts store always made my customers happy . Just make sure to install the stripes in the shade on a cool car . It makes it a lot easier to work with . Here's a photo of my paint job . As for wheels , there a loads of wheel sales web sites .Just pick what you like and can afford .
