I really like the paint on my '98 Jeep Cherokee. On cloudy days it has a maroon look to it, but on sunny days, it's a fantastice metallic red with yellow pearl. Looks great in the sun.

This pic doesn't really do it justice, but you can see the pearl in the front fender.

Nope. That's what I thought when I bought the car too. The other red was called Sorano Red or something like that. You would think the reg. red would be the Patriot color, but it's opposite.

Please do not paint your car this color,
Chrysler paint code "PXR". Comes on alot of Dodge cars but makes the lame ass Charger look sexy.

It is by far the sexiest variation of black I have ever seen.

This color will be on my car for a long time unless I run into another black that makes me wet.

I've definitely decided on doing a pearl of some sort. BUT, how do you think it'll turn out if I don't do my jambs? The car is currently the OEM pearl. And the jambs are in really nice clean shape. I don't think it'll be too bad. It might not even be noticeable from a distance.

not really a champagne but more just a plain white pearl, but sometimes with the sunrise/sunset/softer lighting it kinda looks goldish. look at the hatch area, the drivers side isnt a good representation. its GM's Diamond White Tri-Coat

Cadillac Escalade has that.
Very nice colour.

Which reminds me of this custom multi-stage I did

White base, light gold pearl, frost blue pearl, and Prizmatique microflake. (Also, an embarrassing amount of dirt from sitting in the garage for months - not part of the paint job.)

Really? huh.

I can't recall if I've seen the Saturn kiwi green, it does look nice in photos though. VW's kiwi green for the Beetle is nice in person.

Absolutly gorgeous pignose. I'm painting mine Interlagos Blue from the BMW M3. I hope it comes out looking this clean.

Silver Moss Metallic. Paint Code KR5. The only car I've personally ever seen it on in person other than my S13 was a 1997 S14, but I do believe it came on the 98's as well. It's one of those paints you have to see in person to get the full guage of the color spectrum IMO.

Uh, oh...I think I may have found my new paint? Anyone happen to know the paint code? I probably can't afford it anyway. :keke: Here's a link of all lambo's colors. I don't know which white it would be though. http://www.lambocars.com/pnt/ppg.htm

That's the Versace Murci which was an extremely limited run so not sure that its a factory white, even though now that I think about it the only differences on it where mostly interior bits, looks cool as fawk but strictly cosmetic, and what seemed like a vinyl sticker on either side of the car and of course the blk wheels...so maybe it is a stock color.

From what I remember it was sort of pearl-ish compared to the bright white Gallardos I've seen but with all the damn lights in that place and the hot chicks lambo has at their stand its sort of hard to tell.

Ok edit- Found the pics of it real quick and I was mistaken, there were 2 white Murcis there that day, the pearl one was the drop top and the Versace one was the bright one, heres some pics, you can see the difference right away in the first pic..http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1/jacevg/LA%20auto%20show%2006/IMG_9961.jpg

Post pics of awesome paint jobs/colors. Stock paint or not stock paint. The point of this thread is to compile all the hottest paint colors under the sun.

Try and keep the chat to a minimum.

Also, try and actually post a pic of the color not just the name. Also post the color code if you have it.

I'll start it off with the most sweated, but never actually done, 240 color of all time.

Lavender Frost Metallic. LG1. 1989 OEM color. Coupe only.

Never really new the name of the color. People always asked me what color was it, and that they never really seen that color before. I always though is was silver-ish, thats what i kept telling people. But now i know.

At first i didn't really like it, but it grew on me. And i have only seen 1 other 240 with it but i was a Pignose.

Nice colours though, the gloss blue is an especially good one imo, but not many cars can actually pull it off.

this is my teenage mutant skyrine.... come along way with a badass color that everyone say would look hurt bag

total cost was 900 dollars and lots of sandpaper... paint cost me about 350 with clear coat and everything just went to a local paint shop got a single stage base by just mixing metallic silver and olive and army green until i got a color i liked.... the metallic silve really lightened the color and gave the look of an expensive paint color... did all the prep myself just lots of sanding and took it to a cheap paint shop they sprayed it for 600 and threw some bad ass rainbow sparkles in the clear to finish everything off

only recommendation if doing a budget paint job don't cheap out on the clear took way more coats to cover sparkles than a good clear:-/

can we get some satin paint jobs in here? not flat....satin

ive been really considering a gunmetal satin or maybe black...Ive also been tossing around the idea of a satin super dark eggplant color, like so dark it looks black with like a purple tint if thart makes sense

Do this:

black base coat
Black base coat w/ purple pearl in clear coat = "matte effect eggplant"

You will have to mix quite a bit of pearl in with the matte stage so you can actually see it, and do a spray sheet before you hit the car so you know if it's dull/shiny enough (the more flat, the more pearl it will take)

Anyone know this color? Code would help as well:

A certain member on this forum has their car painted the smurf blue color from them. A homage to being a premie. It looks great.

Oh and lets please keep this thread about paint and not aero.

you have a point.. but i think the car would have to have very nice aero..and wheels to match the luxury tone it gives it.

Silver Moss Metallic. Paint Code KR5. The only car I've personally ever seen it on in person other than my S13 was a 1997 S14, but I do believe it came on the 98's as well. It's one of those paints you have to see in person to get the full guage of the color spectrum IMO.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a149/s14xman/lexuswhite.jpg

and the lexus glacer frost mica

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a149/s14xman/glacerfrostpearl.jpg

this one is nice too, also not sure of the name:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a149/s14xman/gswhite.jpg

Lexus has the colors down to a science! soo nice!

Anyone have the names and or paint codes on the unidentified lexus colors? Especially the color from the IS on the last pic. Is that one the Glacier frost Mica or is it the one above?
I found 2 white colors from lexus for the IS:
Base Sedan Crystal White
Glacier Frost Mica

Well after more searching (this thread got me hooked on paint shopping lol)

I think I can answer my own question:
I think the first 2 Lexi are starfire pearl (paint code 077) and the last lexus is the Glacier Frost mica (code 074)

Anyone able to confirm?
