Carmine Red Metallic on my old 1999 Supercharged Monte Carlo Z34.
Pics dont do it justice cuz when it was washed and waxed the flakes and shine was insane.

Pank · 01-23-2008, 10:33 AM

i doubt it will be noticeable from up close, either.
knock it out the box

sharad909 · 01-06-2013, 01:21 AM

I would believe that's grey metallic. Im painting my s13 grey metallic

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?

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

Can this be stickied?

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...

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.

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.

I disagree, I think the color looks good in person. Has to go on the right car though.

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.

silviaguy240 · 01-23-2008, 02:47 PM

yep, came off the koukis. Silver Moss = KR5

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.
