Hi... i've got this color for my car in my mind, but i have NO CLUE what color it is. I saw a **** burner w/ the color, and i was about to have a heart attack that someone actually had the color... It's a very very rare color, and soooo many colors are very close to it, but once you see the actual color, your floored.

So, i'm wondering if anyone has a site that shows different car colors.

It's like a chameleon color, it's purplish and yet blueish, metallicish, and yet electricish, and very glossy, and very just.. amazing to the eyes.

I have no intention of getting it yet(due to i know it's expensive as hello.), but since i'm starting to do work to my car's exterior, thx to the wreck, i mine as well look into it, prime my car, and possibly see about doing a bit of the work myself. Or find the paint before i put down money to have it painted.

Any help or sites would be appreciated, or pix or videos(can't really be shown that well from a pic, due to light contrast) if you think you've got the color right. if i can find the guy w/ the car, i'll ask, but... i only saw the car once, i think nexttime i'll track him down, & ask, rofl.. i don't care if he thinks i'm stalking him.

thanks.

sounds like a custom from House of Kolor. they have the kamilion line that changes to those colors. i just recieved their chips and they have the best colors. I am going to paint mine this winter for the first time but what the heck am i gonna do in the snow...check this site [url]www.hokpaint.com must use their primers to use their paints just an fyi if you wanted to use their colors.

Sound alote to me like the color of the TVR Tuscan, very sexxy color indeed.



Looking for a pic.....can't find one


It's in GT3 A-Spec for the PS2, someone probably knows what I'm talking about.

best pic I could find, you can see the 2 tone by the drivers side fender towards the bottom, not a good pic at all to show off the 2 tone effect but at least you get an idea of that color I imagine.

Here is a website that has OEM paint chips, but if you want a true chameleon paint, its going to run you a few hundred dollars per PINT! It also has to be special ordered because the pigments in it are the same pigments used in US Currency.

Here are the paint chips:

Sounds similar to the paint that BASF produced for the ------ can I really say this??---- Ford Mustang. Check with your local paint supply stores for the one selling the BASF paint line and see if the color you are looking for is the one marketed under their DIAMONT brand. BTW bring your big wallet.

anubiscougar

how many qts or pints does it take to paint a car.. like.. everything. approx.?

:-/

anubiscougar

noo... not it, needs more purple, & darker blue. more vibrant, way more vibrant.

almost physcidellic.

anubiscougar

www.hokpaint.com rofl, that's where i found today at school. THey have a few colors that are decent, but i guess i need to see them in person to really know... :-/

Redbird87

anubiscougar, please go to the local BASF dealer there and check their DIAMONT line for the MYSTIC color originally produced for Mustang. I am confident thats what you are lookiing for. You could check the website but you need to see it in person. Dave

anubiscougar

hmm, never seen a mustang, let alone ANY stock car, with the color i'm thinking of.

scottmoyer

Is this it??

I would agree check out BASF although i dont think it is the diamont line. I think it will be the top of the line basf. As far a the camillion stang with the special paint. That particular stang is a svt cobra and you can only get that color of paint if you have one of those cars and it got in a wreck and the basf regional guy will com out and look at it and order you the paint which is very expensive and then basf takes the leftover paint back. Sucks to have a car the same color as camillion in on 20's huh?

2 quarts did my entire car for the color base coat. That is 2 quarts un thinned.

i know most likely im gonna get bashed on by everyone for this picture.... but is this the color your talking about?

anubiscougar

close, needs more blue, electric like, and way less green. but getting closer, :-)

& blackors, no, :-/.

anubiscougar

how many coats after base coat do you have to have?

novass

My car took about 2 coats of base and I applied 4 coates of clear. The reason for the 4 coats of clear is that I wet sanded the hell out of it to get rid of all orange peel. I probably ended up with about 3 coats of clear on it after the wet sanding.

If the Mustang is close, but needs more Blue, then try GM's
"Radar Blue Metallic", WA# 9018 and was used on '95 S-10s.
Its purple in one light and blue in another. I have a spray out card from the S-10 I'm working on, but I could never capture its qualities taking a picture of it.

It took 7 cans of black spraypaint for a total of 8 bucks.

Honda has a very nice blue paint called Electron Blue Pearl. It's like the Vette's Electron Blue Metallic, but it turns purplish under certain light and different angels.

anubiscougar

so your both saying check with GM then? Shall do on my next day off, wensday... Also when i go to pick up another headlight bracket, mine's busted. :-/.

They.... should have samples there, right? Like... cards.. or something?

JeffW

want to have some fun with colors check out hok paint chips got my set off ebay for 14 bucks. sky is the limit with them just no names to go with the colors. the one i am going to use requires one coat of gold base and 5 coats of candy and then 3 coats of clear, the candy is what give the car an actual finished color not a candy accent. they have some incredable original options. very custom.
