I have been reading about chrome and black chrome and such but what I really want to know is what color paint would you use to ...............................wait hold on go get a pencil and a peice of paper.....................................you back? Good! Now draw a square and color it in with the pencil..........................done? Now hold it up to the light and look at the color and shine. My question is how could I paint my car to kook like that? Anybody know if there is a paint out there that looks just like that?

 

sure you could do that easy

step 1) sand car down to bare metal

step 2) go to the store

step 3) buy a whole lotta pencils

step 4) start scribbling your car in


seriously though, i dont know, but i think that would be kinda cool I bet you could get away with it if you went with a gun-metal gray and had the metallic flakes in it too.

 

Generally, pencil 'lead' anymore is made from graphite... which might be the color you're looking for. Slightly darker than gunmetal grey but, not by much.

 

i actually scribbled a little square to see what it'd look like. i could dig it.

 

Well not sure if the shine effect will show but here goes............

 

Danm! Didnt work. O-well.

 

Didn't you just paint your car white?

 

paint color graphite metallic.

 

goto a dodge dealer near you and take a look at the graphite color they are using for 2004 (not sure what other years they used it for), looks very nice to me

 

damn, i can't find a pencil...

 

I had a similar color in mind when I painted mine, but if you're going to stick with a standard base coat/clear coat job, you have to just find a color thats close in the Dupont catalog or the 3M or whatever, mine ended up a little lighter than I had imagined (see sig), but I still really like it.

Freaky colors and textures will run you into a LOT of money if you want it done right, and believe me - you want it done right.

 

How come sometimes signatures show up and sometimes they don't?

 

I AGREE WITH RAGE 13, I HAVE AN 2004 DURANGO (HEMI BABY!) AND A 85 IROC, THE GRAPHITE METALLIC IS A GOOD LOOKING COLOR..!!!!! I'LL GET THE PAINT CODE IF U WANT, JUST SEND ME A PM

 

Signatures are shown by default for the person who starts a thread. Everyone else is defaulted to off. You have to click the checkbox to Show Signature under the post entry form. Personally, I think one sig per person per thread is enough.

 

Yes but I can never make my mind up on what I want

 

that seems as if it'd fade to kinda dull in 5-10 years like most factory silvers do. thats what makes somthing you can polish the hell out of so attractive.(like a chrome-like finish)

 

pic of graphite metallic paint

 

also metallic volcano

 

i dont see any pics. it could be this workstation but i can see the other pics fine

 

click on the links the links are red i tested them and they work fine

 

guess its just this work computer then. oh well

 

in addition to Dodge, I've also seen some newer Grand Prixs in a darker graphite color. I think the darker silvers/greys will get popular in the next few years, but i'm still happy with my choice of Platinum
