anyone here have a multi pearl paintjob? im thinking of slapping 3 on my car when i get it resprayed. right now my car is orange with UV pearl. ive seen cars with paintjobs, pearls and ice pearls on top of that. thats the same route im going with, 2 pearls and an ice pearl. what kind of special effect can i expect?

 

They might clash like smuged crayons....
IMO, if your spending that money, go for a flake.....

 

im not a big fan of the flake effect. i just want something different.
when i painted my car ive never seen a car with my paint combo and since ive seen and heard of like 5 or 6 of them, hopefully nobody will have this and it will look half decent.

opinions are always welcome


my plans are orange paint, UV pearl, white pearl, white ice pearl

but that could change if i can find a better combo, im not too sure about the white pearl but i like the UV

decisions decisions...

 

the white will be similar to the UV go yellow or red with uv

personally i like mike's idea...flake...or just ice

 

hold on....is this amin? the guy with the "snorkel"

the guy from neon canada who wanted to race me?

 

yeah it is, lol

i fucked with you!!! lol, dont worry, youre not the only one though. lots of people were afraid to race me when they saw my snorkel intake thing

 

Oh yes.... I would NEVER race an NEON with a snorkel LOL... not cause racing is dangerous and illegal, it's because of the snorkel

 

u thought i was afraid of that thing? looked like it needed some viagra man!

anyways...i checked with paint buddies...dont go white and uv pearl...just go uv pearl with ice pearl.

you will be pimpin lol

 

I am a little confused with all the white, uv and ice pearl thingy...

I know pearls are expensive...

 

Not the kind your fiancee likes... this has to do with paint, not jewlery.

 

Is that the kind of paint where it shines (duh.... almost all paints shine). My fiance drives a white pearl colour car, but what's the difference between ice and other pearl effects?

 

uv and pearls reflect the light...example...white car with purple pearl in the sun shows a nice hint of purple over the white paint like a hazy cool look.

an ice pearl looks like lil sprinkels of "diamonds" or "ice" whatever you wish to call it...the name is exactly the effect u get

a flake consists of larger parts flecks, although they dont reflect light (depending on what you get some flakes do reflect light like the rainbow flake or the silver flake or gold)

as biggie would say "if you dont know now you know......"

 

*nods*

 

holy smokes...u make friggin 68.09 posts per day....wut in god's sweet name

 

Anycolour you pic now will eventually get played out.

Just get a colour you really like and can live with. Also try and get a colour that is easy to match if you do get into a fender bender. You won't be too happy that your $$$ paint job cost $$$ to match up because they would have to paint one whole side of the car, or the whole thing because you would notice the newly painted part like a sore thumb. .

 

how much does that type of paint job cost ?
