I think the white balance is just way too warm making it look gold.

adidas looks like a really pearly color or maybe a candy color? The MDX behind it is pretty similar in hue though.

Thankyou for your suggestion I didnt notice the MDX. After looking more into pearl and candy colors I found this which I think is pretty similar but not quite. Its Shimrin Kandy basecoat kbc03 wild cherry. Im not sure if the lighting is what gives the difference between the two colors in this situation.

SMM · 08-27-2012, 04:31 PM

I guess it could be the lighting. It does look more of a gold color though, sort of like what comes on Chevy Tahoes.

I'm looking for a ridiculously bright blue paint. Any ideas? Gonna be paired with highlighter yellow wheels. So the brighter blue the better

san marino blue (bmw)
vibrant blue pearl
arctic blue pearl
le mans blue
deep sea blue metallic
world rally blue mica
any lotus blue
the blue on the toyota tocama truck

i work for bmw and i have seen the m6 san marino blue a few times. its crazy how much the color changes in different lighting conditions. at times i swear it seems quite purple, and others such as the above picture, it seems like a hardcore blue. its a very complex blue

jdm2191 · 08-30-2012, 07:12 PM

Is this KP4 paint?

KiLLeR2001 · 08-30-2012, 11:01 PM

^ Hard to say, looks like Spark Silver #KL0

Yeah its is, they both look like the damn same color!

KiLLeR2001 · 08-31-2012, 07:38 PM

Nissan made a pretty sweet Yellow Pearl Tri-coat for the 300zx, it's not like the custom Ferrari color above, but it has similar traits...

Paint Code: EH7

*fliprayzin240sx* · 09-07-2012, 07:09 AM

Too dark to be Champagne. The Zenki Champagne color is more gold. I still think its Silver Moss, shitty camera tweaked the color some.

blueshark123 · 09-07-2012, 07:16 AM

its Silver Moss i saw it in person

nevertheless · 09-07-2012, 11:06 AM

Just got mine back from paint, Toyota Metallic Gold

You can see the flake in this pic

Kevin920415 · 09-10-2012, 09:20 PM

Can anyone prefer a color of paint that would blend in nicely with nissan ah3 color?

KiLLeR2001 · 09-10-2012, 10:03 PM

^ Blend it with midnight purple LP2, see what happens!

lol.. No No No... I hate midnight purple..

NISSAN AH3

LEXUS MATADOR RED MICA

BMW Vermilion Red Metallic

I remember seeing a s14 navan zenki with HOK dark burgundy/purpleish color with advans.. if anyone knows his color code?

xawax · 09-11-2012, 08:33 AM

bought this and mixed the two 50/50...I wanted a bit lighter than KG2(which was on the car), but not silver...basically a "fly-under-the-radar" modern oem metallic gray.

Each "kit" was $180 and with that there is probably enough to easily do 3+ cars...

this is before clearcoat...cameras seem to have a hard time with this shade...reminded me of z-tune r34

now the fun part...wetsand and buff

I think you are referring to the picture I posted on the previous page. I was trying to find the same information as well but no luck.

melbourne red
misano red
crimson red
lightning red
brilliant red
road race red
vermilion red

look into vermilion red by bmw.

it is used on their current gen cars. its a sick color. looks awesome in many diff light conditions. melbourne red is too but i feel it can look more orange and dull in different light

pejsa · 10-14-2012, 12:22 PM

thanks they are nylon rivets. (weaker than fiberglass) the front bumper was zip tied on and the side skirts with wood screws so to me this was for sure a better option
