ok as some of you know the idea of a blue to green color change paint for my car has come up on my paint poll. well so far i cant find a whole lot, anyone know where i could find some? could any body shop come across it?

 

try PPG or house of colors. they should have something

 

yes any good body shop should be able to get it...

house of colour is the most recognized company..although..i hope you do realize..that type of paint is rather expensive..

yeah thats what i have heard, but when i fix my door and what not im doing all that work so im only paying for supplies at my body shop so ill have probably 1000 or so of insurnace money plust what i have so i figure i might as well get something good and make it worth it.

 

What you are looking for is a product made by BASF, patented by Ford called miracle paint, and it it very expensive, here in Canada about $500. a pint last time I used it.
It is a very cool effect, a variety of colours available but I have heard it can be a bitch to touch up.
Coolest application I ever saw was a co-workers Cell phone!

 

how could i get ahold of that though, house of colur doesnt have any blue to green which is the color effect i think i want.

what about this?

 

Its the chameleon my dad looked into it for our 81 once upon a time and we were looking at 3k a pint just to purchase the paint. I use it for my welding helmets and my underhood stuff

DuPont ChromeIllusion - plenty to choose from, expensive but we have it at my shop. To expensive in my opinion. I wont pray my car with it, and i can do it for free.

 

is there a website for that? if not do you know if they have a blue to a green? so far i havent really found that change.

 

Check a F*rd dealership with a bodyshop. They'd know.

 

dupont, ppg, and house of kolors all have the "chromilusion" paint however only dupont calls it such.

figure on anywhere from a 220-1,000 range for a pint depending on what brand and color combo. saleen has the most wild version out there. they charge a cool 20 g's on top of their price for it.

i had thought about it on my own car but there wasn't a color in any of them that i liked enough to go with it. sometimes i wish i had as it would have been alot cheaper then my candy paint and much easier to fix in case of a accident.

do a search as there are a few thirdgens painted in that color. if you can afford it and you like it i say go for it.

 

check this stuff out....all you do is put it over a base color to acheive diffrent color changes and its only like 400 for a gallon which would be enough for a whole car. here are a few examples as well as the website.

i dont like the color change in those pictures but its still awesome
the blue and green i think is going on my bike

 

never heard of it before....that is how it works though. typically it's a black base that most of them use.

good luck.

 

hmm...i may give it a shot at least on my bike im gonna talk to them and get some more info so if anyone is interested let me know and ill post whatever i find out. they have some other really cool paints also that you may want to check out

i think im going to use this color? what do you all think

 

definately has a low rider element to it....i personally like the dupont and ppg colors better for their luster but if you like the thicker flakes that may be a better choice. it looks alot like the krylon stuff.

 

im not so much for the flakes i just prefer the color change better, seeing as all my car will ever be is a cruiser it might as well look like one, ill get as much power outtve the 3.1 as i can then start on a v8 camaro
