Default Fresh paint

Try to refrain from drooling all over your keyboards lol.

Well after my last paint job turned out like absolute crap, I can't complain though, it was free I decided to go with a different color(which sucks because now my screen name makes no sense). We laid down a little paint and clear today on the drivers side mirror and it is so amazing.



I took that picture about 20 minutes after the clear was laid down and let me just say, pictures do not do it justice, it is so amazing in the sunlight and I cannot wait til the whole car is done, I will surely post pics once it's been painted, clear cut and buffed.


Name the color! Lol

that looks like a badass color. some variation of Crimson by any chance?? or is just some off-the-wall-exotic-named color?

It is urethane bc/cc. The basecoat is Sikkens, primer is ShopLine JP202 and the clear is Omni. I just looked, there's not a speck of orange peel on it anywhere, it's literally like glass.I guess an $800 Sata clearcoat gun will do that for ya, lol.


Grn N Gry 5OH, it's Black Cherry Pearl.

ahhh. Black Cherry Pearl. i like Black Cherry on cars. i think it looks good. it just doesnt look as dark as most Black Cherry vehicles ive seen. maybe because of the pearl in it. should look awesome. is it so bright just because of the angle? if youre looking straight at it is almost a black like a "regular" Black Cherry color scheme?

Looking straight at it, it's almost black. It's bright like that because of the angle/lighting.
