look at the rear wheel, the tires purple, i guess the painter just felt lazy and didnt cover it. and some random parts of the chrome rims.
photoshop can do wonders.

but if thats the true paint, yeah i admit its a nice color.

For anyone looking for a certain color of a certain car:

Call a paint store and if you know the year and brand of the car you can usually ask them for the color code, if you just know that its a "nissan" or "maserati" or whatever color then head down to any paint supply store and flip through a color book. They list them by year and manufacturer so its VERY easy to find them. If you don't know what manufacturer or anything like that and you just want some color then flip through the color books and I guarantee you will find what you are looking for.

I used to have TONS of color books from like 1968 all the way up to 2010 and misplaced them all somehow when I moved haha

evomike · 07-08-2010, 01:37 AM

It's not photoshopped color the purple on the tires is the paint reflecting off of tires with a ton of tire shine on them.

Chopaholic · 07-12-2010, 02:37 AM

Does anyone have a paint code for it or something similar then?

Shift_grip · 07-12-2010, 03:31 PM

Check out Ford tuxedo black. I first saw it on a car where I work. It has a ton of flake for an oem paint.

hmm,, Im'e not a big paint guy, but I doubt they would match it up perfectly..but also if you have a few clear pics an experienced paint guy would be able to custom mix something pretty close, I would probably have them prep a very small amount and go test it and see how it looks when its actually dry, then order more if it makes you happy..
for example I showed my last body shop guy the nissan chameleon mdinight purple and he said he could mix up a custom batch that would look the same and cost fraction on the price.

Literally, walk into a fucking paint store that carries candy paints (usually it will be a house of color product but there obviously are others) And ask to see examples of the purple candies.

You want to spray the candy over a bright silver, open a color book.

By the way, the color code for the green wheels I painted:

CHRYSLER ELECTRIC LIME GREEN EFFECT 2004-2005
Paint code is: PGL/BGL in the color books.

The color is ALL pearls so it isn't easy to make the color show up in pictures, however in person OH MY GOD
