well awhile back i posted a picture of my 85 trans am and it is being restored. i need some cool pictures of some (different) color paint jobs. i am sick of the white, red, blue,black. same old colors. well thanks for the help if posible and you don't mind tell me the color of paint and show a picture =) thanks alot

 

just to show...

 

just found this pic...........whomever it is won't mind i'm sure!

 

i like this pearl yellow

 

i like this green as well....

 

or this pearl ice blue....

 

how a bright silver color?

 

here are some photoshop ideas of my own car....

 

an orange....

 

finally, here is a picture with my exact color that is using a high quality digital camera to show what a candy shade can look like.

this is by far the best color i think, but i'm partial........far from boring and it shifts colors in different lights. you name the shade your looking for and i'm sure i've got a pic with a car.

 

what about gold.........? although you will see this color alot once the sequel to F&F is out.

 

here is a neon green....:lala:

 

here's a new type of paint.....color chromatic.. it's chrome in looks yet it shifts between red and black.

 

i really like this....it's a red with a pearl.

 

here is newer graphite color that will be out on alot of 03 cars this year...

 

here's another brighter take off on that shade....

 

here's more of a sherbert orange....forgot who did this one?

 

here's a color that i would love to see on a thirdgen....

agent orange, very similar to the lamborghini orange used on the supra in F&F.

 

here's the candy orange prototype...

 

here is a good custom color palet

orange with gold pearl i believe, blue with pearl, onyx black, and my candy red.

 

candy green...

 

a deeper shade of candy red with a metal flake...

 

chromillusion....

 

here is an idea of what candy blue would look like....

 

here's a couple i got

 

Kandied, what kind of rims are those?..just polished stanard rs ones or are they something custom?

 

2

 

Pepper Grey Metallic. Same color as eleanor in Gone In 60 Seconds.

 

which rims are you talking about KCobain147, if you are talking about the ones in the picture with my car they are polished and then tripple chrome plated.

 

hmm thanks for the replies.. i like that candy blue alot

 

That would be a really nice looking car if it wasn't for the grey stripe, that has to go, IMHO

I also really like the candy Green, quite sharp!

 

i'm partial to purple myself, but could be because my car is purple? I really like the look of the dark almost plumb purple haze camaros, just something to consider

 

thats my car! well not actually, mine looks just like it (except my bumper is hanging low a bit ). i was going to just repaint my car mettalic sliver but now you made me want pepper grey metallic looks good, i'll see what the two look like sid to side and decide when i have the $ to get it repainted
:lala:

 

i get my car painted for the price of paint, clear coat and laborrrrr =)

 

anyone notice the front gfx on that last blue camaro???

 

I didnt really notice it until now, but i dont like it

 

you guys know that is photoshopped right?

speaking of a purple..........here's a color changing purple that can be done for relatively cheap. i like this color alot as well because it can be really bright or very dark.

 

here is an angle that shows the "flip" a little more. like i said, if you can dream it i'm sure i've got a picture of it.

 

thats almost what my purple haze camaro looks like, i love that color

 

Here's a question:

How do you think it would look if I were to go with a black base and then put some House of Kolors Kameleon flakes in the clear coat (some, not a lot)? Would it be possible to not have the whole car change colors, but instead have almost a color-changing sheen to it? Know what I'm saying?

 

it uses the same prismatic top coat (metallic basically) but it has a totally different base coat and a colored clear....purple haze is a beautiful color but it's a solid color where as this has all the properties for keeping a stock appearance but can go to a flip-flop on different angles.

i really like paints that can retain a stock appearance until the car passes you or you get a second glance.

 

in order to truly get a chromillusion color like the firebird above you have to use a black base and just layer the top coat..... colors like chromillusion aren't colors, they are almost crushed diamonds that give off a "prismatic" look. hense the reason that those colors can vary so much by different base coats.

you can use a nice black base and do a very thin layer of chromillusion to add a very cool effect. i don't think it will go exactly how your thinking though.

to get the look your wanting you almost have to go with a particular pearl as that's where the "shimmer" comes from.

if you could find an example in any color that gives off the idea you want i could tell you how to do it.

 

question.. when you did the photoshop candy blue.. is that what the actual color looks like or close at least.. i think i might go with that very nice color i think.. or the perl ice blue

 

no....it would look similar to a degree, but more like my own car only blue.


it would be a very nice color indeed....expensive though.

 

Yea i was talking about the ones on your car..if u dont mind me askin how much was the chrome plating?

 

OH CRAP!! And I've been drivin it all this time now. LOL. Guess now that ya found me you can have her back. ahah. Anyway. The dupont fleet number for pepper grey metallic is 44490 if you need it. And now another picture of my car....oops....I mean your car .

 

I like that red on the S15 silvia, the red with a pearl

Kandied how would you go about getting the paint to change only from a deep blue to purple, could you just use some pearl, or would you do something with a chromolusion, I'd want it to be as dramatic as the chromolusion but only with blue and purple

my comp was screwing up and I could use the internet for a bit as I wanted to ask this question earlier so I spent some time photoshoping your car, I have larger res one too if you want

and that other blue photoshop with the front gfx is also one of mine

 

damn......your into the appearance of cars huh??? im into this chromatic color....you got any more pics you can whip up?

 

it's very rare, i'll look though....that paint isn't really even out yet. that particular car has a sponsorship that paid for it.

i plan to repaint mine in that color, film cannot capture the color. it actually looks like the chrome paints you might see on a little johnny lightning car. very cool.

jimmyg very nice work....almost makes me wish i went blue...almost!

as far as your color your talking about, dupont makes it. its called blasberry and it's a shade of chromillusion....changes between blue and only purple. i'll look to see if i have a pic but it may take a day or so.

here give a general idea of what it could look like. blasberry

 

here is the same color using less top coat..........understand that blasberry and purpleen actually have as many as 5 different ways to change their colors as well as the amounts of layers can affect it's outcome. that's what's so fun about the paint. you can make it look however you want!

here is another pic of that same color but using a different meathod to apply it.
