jdmVTEC · 11-27-2001, 12:22 PM

yea...we put chrome flakes in the first clear coat and put 4 clear coats over it.....a little too much show for me but it looks good....its different

phatfarm · 11-27-2001, 01:54 PM

cool guy. I am puttin flakes into my paint but not that big!

My body shop can put it into the clear or the paint, when it goes into the actuall paint it becomes less vibrant. When in the clear it shines like a pig!

the flakes ar very small...it looks like sand...i didnt like them big ass flakes...flakes in the paint?i like that idea...its sounds like it would be more flush wit the color...but i like the color mineis...wen the sun isnt hittin it the car looks like a charcoal color

your car is two colors and looks like you hit a fairy at 90 mph... not my taste..

Mark94 · 11-28-2001, 09:34 AM

It's not my taste, but it looks like they did a good job with the paint. It's a little too "flahsy" for me.

Clean and simple will never go out of style.

thats wut i think also....i wanted to get it painted the IS 300 charcoal but he sed he wanted to have fun with it.....so i let him....im still getting used to it...its a lot different rom just the "stealth" black look...i miss those days but i am happy...

Mark94 · 11-28-2001, 10:34 AM

I thought that was you who said you wanted to paint it IS300 charcoal grey. That is a NICE color!

I hope you didn't end up paying too much money for the job considering that you wanted a totally different color and let him do whatever he wanted to YOUR car.

I mean no disrespect, but by the way you wrote your last post, it seems as if you had almost no say in what your car would look like - hopefully I just read it wrong.

Your car would have looked great in that charcoal grey...........CLEAN!

As long as your happy though, that's what counts.

We should meet up sometime since we are both in Jersey. Unfortunately, my car is in storage for the winter so I won't be taking it out until next spring, but keep in touch.

The paint job does look quality though...I guess its a desired taste. Maybe the pics dont do it justice.
