KCobain147, roughly 1500 for plating, 500 for shipping and polishing charges.

you can get rims that look similar through your major tire retail like belle tire or discount tire that use knock off wheels with yours as trade in for roughly 700. these again are single plated though. you pay for what you get. they will work you just have to take care of them.

here is another pic of that same color but using a different meathod to apply it.
So would there be a way to apply it so it would be blue more then purple? Kinda like this

yes, i'm telling you that they make the exact color you want. look up dupont paints and just look into blasberry (sp.?)

even the purpleen can be made to do the exact same thing. go to your autopaint dealer in your area. they will have books of the stuff and can show you samples. they have exactly what you want. i just have so many pictures and they aren't together right so it could take me forever to find it.

they do make it though and it will look just like you want, i know this for sure as i almost did it to my own.

Hmm... how about a dark or polo green with pearl? My car (the eT/A) is going into the paint shop next week, and the guy suggested a pearlescent mix. I'm just not sure how it would look.... a little attitude would be nice, but I'm not looking to draw much more attention than she already gets. Any ideas? Understated, with a touch of attitude...

Cargasm, have him spray it out on a test piece first so you know.


i don't have to much on hand as most times metalic green or candy green is the norm. depending on how many coats your color will change.

i have a friend with a 95 tahoe that is polo green with gold pearl and it looks sharp.

Wow. All of those colors look great. I don't like the colors on my car. I am really liking the ice blue, graphite, that orange pearl, and candy apple red.
