                    Thanks for all the positive responses, guys!
                    No, Jim, it's not "Dish Towel Blue" Think I'll name it "Elusive Aqua" since it was such a pain in the patootie!!
                    Went to see it this afternoon. He had applied the spray-in bed liner. Went with the black, since the paint was a pearl, we couldn't use it to tint the liner. Was still a little unsure about so much black, but after I saw it, I realized it was the perfect choice. The black is a great contrast to the bright, sparkly aqua. I am extremely happy with it. Body guy is in the process of wet-sanding and buffing the paint, will start re-assembling the car as soon as that is done. We are having a new windshield put in next week, and replacing the Unicorn-infested rear window with a plain-glass one. Didn't get any pics today, was charging the batteries in the camera, but will go by tomorrow and take some. Will post them sometime during the day tomorrow. Am really anxious to move it outside and get some great pictures with the sun shining on it!
