TL;DR
I can't find an example online of a car painted in SPI Grey epoxy. Can someone post a well-lit picture of a car or large part painted in such?
Background
I am restoring a 1970 VW Karman Ghia. It is a body-on-pan design for those that are unfamiliar. Think VW Beetle with a dress.
I know the traditional colors for the underside and non-visible parts are Balck or Red Oxide but I need to deviate from the norm. I am both night blind and visually impaired. For this reason, I would like to paint the inside, wheel wells, and pan in a light grey. This will make it easier for me to see what I am doing whenever I need to work on the car. I would like to epoxy the entire car in one color and not have to worry about the aforementioned parts once they have been painted. I can't find any examples/pictures of the SPI Grey epoxy so I'm asking if anyone can post pictures in order to get an idea if it will be light enough. My alternative plans would be to either custom mix Black and White epoxy to get a shade I can live with or epoxy and SS the non-exterior parts in the same light blue metallic as the BC/CC for the exterior (if possible/available). My concern with the SS is durability on the underside and wheel wells.
Thanks,
Emil
