Re: 89 TT Iroc body work and paint thread

Looks like a pretty straight body if that's it for bodywork. Where did you pull those colors from? It shouldn't be too hard to find something with less coarse flake in it.

Re: 89 TT Iroc body work and paint thread

I wasn't too impressed with the summit paints. Only bc of price. I think I got their Indian Bronze, like a copper, for something like 65 or so a quart. However it is already reduced. You can get a lot of other paints from a paint shop run that run around that price and you can still reduce them 4:1 2:1 or whatever it calls for. So I've saved money that way.

I you really like the colors, you can get their paint chip sheet and take it in to a paint store they'll put it on a computer and make the same color for you out of whatever brand you want. Might be an option. Just suggestions.

Re: 89 TT Iroc body work and paint thread

Call me sacrilegious, but ford sonic blue is a real nice color in my opinion. Might be a little darker, maybe a tad more purple than the toyota. But I've always loved a good deep royal blue/gray or silver combo.

Re: 89 TT Iroc body work and paint thread

Another close color would be yamaha team blue, I have it on my r6. Most internet pics of it seem lighter than it really is. It's a close mix between deep blue and purple but it's pretty close to the sonic blue, just a little darker.
