I'm more miffed by the fact that the windshield is like looking through a mailbox slot.

Nice colours though, the gloss blue is an especially good one imo, but not many cars can actually pull it off.

great thread, like to see some more reds, like a darkish candy apple color?

[slow40]

Nope not just the photography, thats how the actual color looks. My bestfriend had that color on his GTO, 2006 moddels only. code: 71U

[Risu2112]

If you're looking for a nice metallic green alfa has that under control

I'd love to see a 240 with this color


The picture doesn't of course do it justice haha.

FYI this also happens to be the most bad ass sounding car possible. (2.7 liter V8 w/ mechanical fuel injection)

[NiSilS14]

Mercedes Mars Red 590


Toyota Black Cherry Pearl (it's one of those in person colors)


This one is just nice. Candy Brandywine Candy Apple Red over Silver Base

[JVDSKYRINE]

this is my teenage mutant skyrine.... come along way with a badass color that everyone say would look hurt bag

total cost was 900 dollars and lots of sandpaper... paint cost me about 350 with clear coat and everything just went to a local paint shop got a single stage base by just mixing metallic silver and olive and army green until i got a color i liked.... the metallic silve really lightened the color and gave the look of an expensive paint color... did all the prep myself just lots of sanding and took it to a cheap paint shop they sprayed it for 600 and threw some bad ass rainbow sparkles in the clear to finish everything off

only recommendation if doing a budget paint job don't cheap out on the clear took way more coats to cover sparkles than a good clear

[95drifto]

^ That color is bada$$. I found the color for my coupe. You have a very nice car

Grigio Atlas Metallic paint, the same color found on the Lamborghini Murciolago.

[luckysr]

heres is my i think the name is ultra red with a gold pearl

[SlideAlliance]

I know, I know, it's a total bitch to see, but it's Toyota super white base with white pearl and chrome .025 flake. It's barely any flake, but when it's inside it looks like pepper is all over the car....


Red candy with some flake.....can't tell what all is in it, it's the only picture I can find of it.
