Ya I've used aircraft stripper on paint lots but I was trying to avoid it but if thats the best way I can. Thanks!

It's Hot Yo! Color shifts and shit. It has been licensed for use on cars. So, it's not hard...

[sm0611]

word. You must have to call them for the code then because the people that have it done have a just been mixing and getting close as they can

[Corbic]

[Eky_drifter]

the lighter spot you see in pic 2 on the Q fender was cuz i ran out of the green primer and used light grey! no biggy i picked up some overs ill be spraying soon.
and will match up with the rest of the car.

[ziptie]

Ive been through about 20 pages with out much luck and Aus internet is crap for all these pics >.<

If anyone can link me to more dark brown/ metallic brown/ goldy brown cars in this thread that would be great.

[sm0611]

Pages 31, 35, and 37 have some really nice looking brown/bronze/copper colors. Good luck finding what your looking for man hope those helped out.

green looks sick man! i priced some out a few weeks ago and was told dont even try to do it without a tinted sealer, allegedly the green doesnt cover good. looks like you knew what was up though, shits the hotness!

[ziptie]

I'm debating between going the above route on my s13 or Lexus Smokey granite mica, opinions?

I know for PBM 2010 S15 they are using House of Kolors Hot Rodz Flatz in a gunmetal/grey color and it looks sick!!! There should be a thread here about that car specifically.

[hypercrush]

you could use the nissan code KG2 from s13's or "sructural grey" from more modern nissans and put a satin clear on. that might be pretty rad

thanks! all you really need is to primer one color before paint. shot the whole thing with a green or grey primer, prep and paint the green! and it will look baller! i love the color!

I'm going to get my car painted in factory color as well.

If it's pearl white like my '93 coupe, the paint code is WKO (Aspen White Pearl Glow)

For Super White, the code is 326.

[Jesster58]

Yeah, mines super white but id stay away from the white alltogether i get so much "girl car" shit from my friends.

Been looking at this thread before I joined up. I'm in love with this color.
