Yes. It's very hard. I spent a lot of time going back and forth. I should have ordered swatches like you did. But I feel good with what I ended up going with.Swatches came in with all of the powedercoat colors. To really see them, I had to go outside in the sunlight. This will not be an easy decision.

Waterjet cut out of steel including material and the two 35 degree bends. Price is actually slightly cheaper than what I was quoted locally. Most the cost is in them setting up the machine.$200 to cut out your design? Seems pricey. Will it be laser cut out of sheet metal?
Does the brake light have a resistor built in or are you going to add one in line to keep the cruise working?My third brake light came in today. Looks very solid and its even DOT marked. Also got my 4 blue LED projectors that I will be using for the footwell & side upper courtesy lamps.

Next step will be designing the weld-on brackets for these.
This doesn’t have a resistor so I will need to add one. It was the only smaller size light I could find, though.Does the brake light have a resistor built in or are you going to add one in line to keep the cruise working?
It's odd about the resistor, I don't even have a third brake light connected and my cruise works fine. We used it the other night. However, I'm sure different donor cars are different.This doesn’t have a resistor so I will need to add one. It was the only smaller size light I could find, though.
I’m not quite sure about it myself; it was info Lonnie had put out a while back.It's odd about the resistor, I don't even have a third brake light connected and my cruise works fine. We used it the other night. However, I'm sure different donor cars are different.
I understand the hot garage. A few years back I painted a buddy's Mustang. It was 97 degrees in the shop that evening. I did not want to do it that day but he was out of town and I did not want him hanging over my shoulder watching my every move. I never stopped moving when I started the clear coat. By the time I made one pass around the car it was tacked up enough for the next coat no so called flash time needed between coats. I think I lost 20 lbs that night .Still not too much going on over here lately as I’m in summer hibernation (garage is hitting around 100 degrees daily until September ).
