Pank · 01-23-2008, 10:33 AM

i doubt it will be noticeable from up close, either.

They sure do. I think that one is called frost blue mica iirc. I'll try and find out from my lexus friends.

Jaketenpointo · 01-23-2008, 11:23 AM

I don't know the color but I like my car

bziggers13 · 01-23-2008, 11:26 AM

punxva · 01-23-2008, 11:46 AM

dont know the names or codes...

axiomatik · 01-23-2008, 12:19 PM

cadillac has a fantastic pearl white too. Can't find a decent pic right now, but it's a warmer pearl white.

*exitspeed* · 01-23-2008, 12:25 PM

Has anyone seen a pearl white with like a champagne pearl in it? Instead of the blue/pink you see?

low and slow · 01-23-2008, 12:33 PM

Can this be stickied?

i would think it looks like those dull pearl white color.

silviaguy240 · 01-23-2008, 12:35 PM

not really a champagne but more just a plain white pearl, but sometimes with the sunrise/sunset/softer lighting it kinda looks goldish. look at the hatch area, the drivers side isnt a good representation. its GM's Diamond White Tri-Coat

another cool color is Garnet on the saturn outlooks. not sure if it comes on any other GM's

VROOOM · 01-23-2008, 12:40 PM

here ya go

*exitspeed* · 01-23-2008, 12:52 PM

I think that looks nice buy I can't get past how ugly that car is...

Cadillac Escalade has that.
Very nice colour.

Which reminds me of this custom multi-stage I did

White base, light gold pearl, frost blue pearl, and Prizmatique microflake. (Also, an embarrassing amount of dirt from sitting in the garage for months - not part of the paint job.)

Light coloured pearls, and having blue & gold helps the bike look whiter than just a normal gold pearl.

I think it's the same color that that Outlook has on it above. Accordingly to Paintscratch.com at least. http://www.paintscratch.com/cgi-bin/makepaint2.cgi

firelizard · 01-23-2008, 01:16 PM

Speaking of Saturns:

This cyber kiwi green is pretty attractive.
Reminds me of the Do-Luck 350Z as well.

eastcoastS14 · 01-23-2008, 01:16 PM

all the new lexus colors are nice...i really want to paint my car that lexus white on the new IS....in person it changes color slightly in the sun and looks great

axiomatik · 01-23-2008, 01:59 PM

yeah, the cadillac pearl white has more of a champagne tint to it.

Oooh. I think this color has just changed my plans... Is this OEM Nissan?

silviaguy240 · 01-23-2008, 02:47 PM

yep, came off the koukis. Silver Moss = KR5

Really? huh.

I can't recall if I've seen the Saturn kiwi green, it does look nice in photos though. VW's kiwi green for the Beetle is nice in person.

silviaguy240 · 01-23-2008, 02:51 PM

yea, idk its all personal preference. but its more of a puke green in person, its not that yellow really.

GREAT THREAD.....I can see a Sticky in it future!!!

womenbeshoppin · 01-23-2008, 03:12 PM

i always liked "Dark Ming Blue Pri Metallic"

95KA-Turbo · 01-23-2008, 03:21 PM

My new color, I'll post picture when I actually paint it.

Jeep Green:

Code: PGJ

It looks ridiculous in person, that picture sucks ass, there is at least one person on here who has a S13 painted like that I don't want to blow their shit up and post it up though.

*kingkilburn* · 01-23-2008, 03:27 PM

How about the Mary Kay Cady pink

Does any one have a color like silver moss but darker?
