umm, what's your point? It's a paint thread, not a car thread.

for the gentleman above me: Humour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

searched this whole thread, can't find anything like this
does anyone know a color name or code?

and don't say scion toaster blue. unless you have to, then by all means do so.

HOK I think its called Brandy Wine Candy

throw a silver base down first, you may want to add some black into the silver to make it a little darker as well

Ktown_drifter · 02-16-2011, 06:11 PM

awesome.. I know this particular car is a custom color .. but anyth9ing close be awesome

ecuastyle84 · 02-17-2011, 07:42 AM

Not sure if this is the right thread post this but do any of you guys know what paint code these rims are or something that comes close to it?

im in agreement, i have sprayed it before and it does look similar. you dont have to buy it in HOK though if you want to go cheaper you can. i used a gold base last time, but either way looks good. candy is a bummer if you ever damage the car though

FLMadness · 02-17-2011, 11:12 AM

looks pretty close to lexus's ruby red...

anotheraznguy · 02-17-2011, 01:45 PM

just painted this for my wife.

Firemist purple

could definetly have the same look as far as the color, but candy shifts so much in different light due to the fact that it is a transparent color over a much more solid ground color. other coatings can have the color right but just cant match the effect of candy if that makes sense. a factory color is more likely to have pearls since that can be duplicated far easier. this is only in MY experience though. either way thats a really good paint scheme

FLMadness · 02-19-2011, 08:45 AM

Yeah, I was just saying. I am a painter myself, so I understand the effects of paint..
I got a color saved for my car

hypercrush · 02-19-2011, 06:40 PM

my bad, sorry if i sounded like i was talking down or something. im just a nerd for paint.anybody have pics of BRG on a 240? thinking of doing a engine bay in that, and maybe two-tone it with some off white or chocolate...

FLMadness · 02-20-2011, 08:47 AM

im the same way man, ever since i sprayed my first metallic ive been hooked..
