what was th paint code u went with, im going to mix some tommarow!

 

[redspeed3tk]

i mixed up 4 oz of 362 bmw color and then i added 1 gram of gold pearl and 2 grams of red efx pearl and a touch more metalic those are dupont pearls not sure what paint ya use

 

[bmman93]

we use ppg and sikkens and we have all there respected paints lol

u-tech lesional and auto base plus then in ppg we have omni deltron and global and concpet! lol and both likes have the owne special pearls so it will be tight thanks

 

[redspeed3tk]

i sprayed ppg at school and sikkens at my last job ppg would be easer bc its still a dry pearl system i like the little bit of gold and that efx pearl makes the backround of it really pop...its pretty much a transparent paint so it looks nice

i did all my trim in red about a month ago. finished and was like hhmm.. looks good.. They went to the dealer and saw the factory gray... (puke)

went back to see my car..the red(bowdown)

my car is silver and i think it looks sick. everyone that gets into the car asks if the red is stock(lick)

+1.. yes please... Im of the opinion it wouldnt look right but I've been known to change my opinion and a pic would go a long way in visualizing the actual look.
