Just a few pics, eventually another members car will pop up and be all this color, this was to test and make sure its nice.

 

wow, what is it?

 

That help ?
.... or did you mean what is the name of the paint color ?

 

i think he ment the paint. Im no a fan of purple on cars period but if thats the way you were going to go then its as nice a colour of purple as ive seen

 

Is that the "Purple Haze" color that they brought back in 92. My dad has a Purple Haze 92 Z28 Convert... That car looks awesome.

 

Her car is currently and originally the factory 92 "purple haze / hawaiian orchid" the color is a 97 Ford color called "Thistle Metallic"

 

purple is a tough color to make look good, i hope everything comes out good on the car. Though i do remember seeing some purple convertible camaros that look pretty good.

 

I can honestly say that I like purple, but only if its the right shade. And that color purple looks perfect, it appears to have some metallic and/or pearl in it too?

Can't wait to see the finished product

 

ohh man I miss my purple RS go for it man...id go with the gm color tho, and throw some silver stripes on it
This isnt mine..but i wish it was..

 

i like it!

 

whoa.......that is a NICE color...i'd love to see the whole car

 

NICE COLOR!!!

 

wow thats very nice, how long have you been painting?

 

Actually that doesnt show how nice it really is, thats the wet base, it looks much better now with the clear, i've been doing little things on and off for about 4 yrs now, started playing with ground effects and spoilers and was going to paint my orig project car, but weather kept me from doing it, paid someone to do it and it ended up screwed up, even though they painted at a gm body shop every day and had done some nice work, so i decided nobody else was touching anything of mine or my friends, heres another i've done, soon i'll be doing the rest of the car:

 

*jaw drops and feels something wet in his pants*.... :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

 

Hot!

 

I like the GM purple also that came on the 92's. I would of almost painted my car that color if i didnt like blue so much.

 

My car is a similar colour, but not quite the same shade.

The trouble is, the quality of the paint job is not very good, and a couple of rust bubbles are appearing. I'll be getting the paint colour matched and doing a proper job soon.

 

thats not good

 

damn thats some good work, i hope the hood im goin to paint comes out mostly good, but how bad can you screw up painting white? it hides everything excupt dirt

 

damn looking great...not been a fan of purple but i think urs looks kick ***..liked to see it whens its done :hail:

 

Dirt is your #1 enemy when painting white.. especially when shooting the clear
Anything and everything will show up in the clear.
Single stage obviously not quite the same problem but, thats a different beast.
The #2 enemy w/white... lighting. I'm about half blind anyways from welding but, white is a very difficult color to see where you have painted and haven't. I've found that no overhead lights (in a smaller garage) and a few 4' shop lamps on the floor (under what you are painting) is a good way to see what you are doing (gives the best light reflection) but, that's just me and my crappy vision...

 

Nice job with the paint......

As i've already mentioned that black w/ red color combo is killer......:hail:

thanx for the tips, that will help me out alot. my vision isnt messed up yet from welding...yet. but i have 4 overhead flouencet light set ups and a 1000watt flood light set up i can put on and see even better.

 

I am the member he is talking about. It took me a couple of days to get used to this color. It is really bright in the direct sunlight. But I have finally decided to use this color. I think it will look awesome once completed. I will make to sure to post pics when its all finished !:lala:

 

I like purple myself, especially that Diablo metalic lavender shade. I wish I could paint like that. It always looks fun when it comes out right or atleast halfway decent.

 

thats one sweet colour
