The Buick Dark Crimson Metallic is so ill. You have to see it in person (like most colors). It's more red in this pic then it is in person. It's more of a black-ish with highlights of red.

i love this color just dont know why..on an s13 widebody and some bronze work wheels dumped to the ground!!!

MrMcgarrett · 04-23-2008, 03:31 PM

I have a paint question and since this is a paint thread I thought I would ask it here.

Is a gallon of paint enough to do the outside/inside/engine bay of an S13 hatch?

That should be plenty most base coats mix 1:1 so you'll end with 2 sprayable gallons. If your changing color i would recommend a sealer to get everything the same color.

wannabe_drifter · 04-23-2008, 08:10 PM

stiizy: do you know whats the name of that color or the code for it ?

Dirty Habit · 04-23-2008, 10:24 PM

Brickyard Burgundy from the 350z is fucking beautiful. End thread.

not a bad color, but it needs more/bigger flake or something. its to flat of a color in real life, almost just looks like a gloss.

kuruptR · 04-25-2008, 11:06 AM

Both of these color change in light... hatch with 15 front, is a moss green. The Sil-80 goes from green to bronze.

And one for good measure.

The color is called Bamboo Pearl - 6T1. The photo doesn't do it justice. The color definitely has grown on me.

ramman434 · 04-26-2008, 11:34 PM

I can't believe no one's posted up this stock color for the '97-98 240's:

Cobalt Green Pearl:

How can this PJ have a legit paint name if it is photoshopped? Is Midnight Pearl Green a real color on a different car?

devonkyle77 · 04-27-2008, 10:32 AM

i think thats a Kustom shop color.

silviaguy240 · 04-27-2008, 10:48 AM

that photoshop is terrible anyways, you can still see chunks of red all over the car where he missed.

and ive been holding out on this color because i wanted to keep it a secret, plus i cant find any good pics, shoulda taken a couple at the philly auto show of this cayanne with it...but since im not gonna go with it any more.

porsche dark olive metallic - M6X/7G

and another cool color is the Mini - Hot Chocolate..its really metallicy in real life and kinda looks nothing like the picture here, but it gives you the general idea.

koukimonster139 · 04-27-2008, 10:49 AM

anybody remember this car?

blown up and wrecked now, painted some 2 years ago

mercedes bourbon metallic.

sexy. as. fuck.

I think I've found the color I've been looking for.

***CrimsonRockett*** · 04-28-2008, 07:27 PM

Silverstone off a 350z.

I'll post up extremely detailed pictures this weekend after the final coat of clear is on, wet sanded, and buffed.

Should look amazing then.
