If im using your drop shadow technique and plan to have the car main color be metallic silver. Would i need to paint over the drop shadow with another color before the silver or will the black alone be ok?

--Depending on the effect you want, black will be fine. If i have for example blue hi-lites on the body, i wouls sometimes use a transparent blue on top of the black then back it with silver. Either way, experiment with them and see what kinda results you get.

Plain Krylon acrylic clear works. Rustoleum works as well.
