New paint ideas.

Hey all, finally fine tuning my ls swap and I'm looking into paint.


I was looking into this color. So far all I have found is the house of kolor pearl blue and "burple". House of kolor is a bit high for my taste and was really hoping someone knows where I can find a blue that's similar. Maybe with a picture on their car?

I used the Purple Haze recently but don't have a picture right now. I bought gallon of base and gallon of clear with all reducers and activators shipped to me for $216. It's a custom purple that is not factory but price was right.

How well did you like the paint product and how well has it held up? Going to paint my car soon their prices are pretty darn low.

Re: New paint ideas.

I liked this paint and sprayed very well, but I only painted my car this spring so not sure yet how well it will hold up. I spent two weeks of evenings sanding the clear coat down to 2000 grit sandpaper and looks great and I think this is high quality paint and clear and is as good as any other brand auto paint.

Re: New paint ideas.

I thought that there was a blue some of the new fords or Chevy can be ordered in. I've seen either a equinox or explorer in it, looked good a d really close to that.
