The definitive paint thread. Nuff said.

[trigjones]

Really interested in finding a fuschia like this. I'm getting close to having my car repaintex, its this or m3 blue, hopefully in a single stage since I don't want to invest in base/clear as i dont plan on owning the car more than 2-3 years. As it currently sits in factory white, less the pieces I've replaced on my own.

Don't get single stage then, it won't ever look like that unless its a tricoat base/pearl/clear

[killer240]

is it just the light or is this light cream or something?
also if you have more pics of this car, post it up.

Heres a car we just did a couple weeks ago, Toyota Silver Metallic 1D0 I believe, its a lot deeper in person, pictures don't do justice






And did the cage in a custom blue to be similar to the wheels

[dgardner]

Tornado Red. The picture doesn't do it justice, it really shines in the sun. It's a VW color.

I just saw this, I am working with Justin Pawlak now in southern california so no support other than kicking some extra work in on some of the jobs I do for people.


Justin's new FC, getting some of the old car green on it:

Yeah well since you have only been on this site for 2 months i would say you have a lot to learn and quite a few nissan owners to meet.

42 has to be a joke, I dont know anyone that age that still hates on a car because of the brand.

Actually you have alot to learn. I've been in the import car/mini truck scene since 1988 and have scene it all. Plus I have watched Hondas get laughed out of the North West Nissans yearly Golden Gardens event. In the North West where I live Hondas are a joke and it's the retards that modify them in the worst way that makes all of the N.W. Nissan guy's dislike them. I love driving my 350 hp RB powered S13, but everytime I take it out every idiot in a integra or civic taunts me for a street race not knowing what I have under the hood. So I just flip them the bird and keep going the posted limit. It's all those Honda douchys that have created the way I feel and many others feel about Hondas.

come on now haha. i would be too embarrassed to even post if i did that.


thats cool, i knew you were at Hotline just didnt know if you guys were sponsoring any pro/am drivers. is the FC cage kandy like the green car was? or am i remembering my cars wrong?

[dopplganger1]

painted my valve cover the same color, damn me living in portland I've got a good 6 months till i can even really see the color change lol but at-least I have an idea of how good it'll look

[Lovely Idol Inc.]

It was the green before it was champagne and blue, Justin still had some left so we did the cage and we are doing the engine bay in it so it will kind of be reverse of when the car was candy green with blue engine bay

[c_mancuyas8]

Walmart satin white lol

[fyneyoungstunna]

I forgot about this one till I looked through my photo-bucket.
anyone have a clue of this one?

[hypercrush]

this is true, they are not the same at all. i mean all the colors you mentioned probably begin their code with the letter "L" but thats where the similarities end. i had to spray cards out for the lambo, audi, and porsche greys mentioned for a customer a few months ago, and i also sprayed some of 1quik240's color in the past on some of his parts. they are all substantially different from each other. i think what he means by them being the same is that by MY understanding VAG's paint is supplied by the maker Glasurit. obviously it can be mixed in any paint line though, if you know the code.

for fun here is the audi nimbus grey and the porsche Graushwarz side by side

the audi (left) has some nifty greenish pearl that adds a little life to it, while the porsche (right) code has nothing like that. its dark and pretty plain but cool for that reason on the right car.

maybe this info will come in handy to someone i dunno haha

[killer240]

that old mobile paint is sexy
