The definitive paint thread. Nuff said.

[erik05v]

did this one a couple weeks ago lexus color code 074 sorry crappy cell pics

[hypercrush]

074 glacier frost mica? tri-stage right? ive done 077 starfire white 3 stage, lexus whites are nice!



(matching helmet haha)

[chiboy002]

holy shit those are beautiful
whats the base coat

[Lovely Idol Inc.]

Its a tri-stage, so the code calls for a white base, then the pearl coat over that then clear.


Usually toyota pearl whites a derivative of 040 which is what I did on my white car then threw white and blue pearl over it. If you plan on using a slammed car a lot, its a fucking bitch to match so for some cars its actually not worth it

[MidwestMyriad]

Just have to boss up and pre mix 10 gallons for re-sprays

[chiboy002]

yeah just buy a shit load of extra

and ah ok, i always thought stage paints called for pearl as the base coat or something

No problem as long as you are bringing $3,500.00 just for the base coat.


I have matched it before a couple times, but it is such a tedious process that it just makes it not worth it. Its even worse if the car has been resprayed before because you never know what system was used on it previously which makes it that much harder, sometimes you get lucky and its the same shit but rarely

[hypercrush]

true words. i hatch to fix a damaged roof last month on a 13 coupe and blend in the pillars, all the information i had from the place that sprayed the car last was "its white base with white pearl in the clear". took a ton of sprayouts to get close

[Lovely Idol Inc.]

My car can't be matched because I fuck it up too often, but the white never changes so it's close.


You have to use the same clear too, some are more yellow than others

I know this is factory from Lamborghini, but does anyone know the code or the color name? My favorite color by far.

[memphis180sx]

this isnt the color code or name but it looks like battleship grey

[NinjaTanuki]

MEESTEE BURUU METTARIKKU,

misty blue metallic, rare/uncommon OEM color code LH1, looks incredible when fresh, kind of a blue/silver pearl, more blue than silver, under some lights it totally changes color, its pretty nice for an OEM color, then again, its rare you see a fresh job

Saw a garage kept late 90s maxima with like 30k miles with this color and almost shit a brick...

gonna repaint in this color soon, i get 40% off auto paint where i work

shutup about my wheels and height i got coils and +25 chromium black XXR 527 17" 8.25 front and 9.75 rear now :P

I always liked LH1. Some alternates are even better. My daliy is KG1 Platinum Ice with upper two tone in Toyota 8Q0 Stratosphere Mica

Same color

[conrad_s13.5]

^ so many different aeros,....feels so right!....lol

[240drifter1]

My old teggy. Super sonic blue pearl




Starfire blue pearl



IS300 graphite gray pearl

[Eazy_tom]

Any tan colored zenkis?

[Fracture]

dope ass blue anyone have paint code/name?

[MidwestMyriad]

Haha was about to make this same post^

[240drifter1]

Kinda looks like starfire blue, like my last kouki (above on this page). That color is really hard to capture on camera, every picture makes it look different.

[Fracture]

i thought it was starfire blue pearl or sapphire blue too but then i came across this...



and midnight blue pearl also fits

all 3 look very similar but the pearl effect on the starfire blue and midnight blue might be the ones on that s13. maybe that's why it's so hard to shoot that colour.

[240drifter1]

Another one


Private Parking Lot, I do not promote street drifting.

This picture makes it look more purple lol

[josh_schul]
