Finally..a color I Love..3rd times a charm

Well, if you remember, I used the hot rod flatz for the first shoot...paint worked out fine, just was way off from their color chip...

So I talked to Alex Gambino. and between him, me and my paint guy...I got a color I dig...

So here it is...done...all thats left paint wise is some black with red flake for the small part of the dash...so it matches the roof.

Maybe some black scallops?????

Sorry...still no sun around here.....






And the old....hot rod flatz

 

looks great. So what color, paint brand etc?

 

HUGE improvement... looks great.

 

That looks great. I was thinking all along it should be a copper.

 

YEAH!

Much better.

I didn't want to say it then, but the last color made your car look like a sad taxi.

The new color looks great. Perseverance paid off.


PS: no scallops for a while. chrome trim. think about it. live with the paint awhile before doing anything more.

 

Looks gangsta! I dig it.

 

Wow! much better. It looks a lot "warmer" than before. What size tires do you have on there? Trying to find a good size on my 53.

 

Its ppg paint...base only....some brew my paint guy mixed up..I spent about 4 hours there while he made me up about 6 different shades ..we did test panels there..and I took the one I liked best

I was worried that the ppg would be to shinney, but I has the "sheen" I was looking for

 

Tires are real short 560-15...about 25" tall

 

looks great. Nice.

 

That looks badass. I would have to say... No scalops for sure. Looks bitchin the way it is.

 

NAILED IT...

3RD TIME IS DEFINITELY THE CHARM...

 

BAD ASS! Seriously I think it looks killer this time around.

 

Flat bad ass! Awesome

 

That color looks PREEEEMO on that car. Great job........................................RUSTY

 

Smooooth!! Thats much better than the other's.

 

Color looks great, it's not so "dead" looking.
So the moral of the story is, use Kustom Flatz only as a primer.

 

glad i could help bro
damb it looks good
no comparason

 

Ahhh....much better. Can you get some grow lights or something...I wanna see if that flake

some times the ppg is hit and miss with the sheen thing it worked for ya thow.
RM and H of K always lay out the same and you can mix the two
good job homie

 

Thanks guys, first time the sun comes out, Ill get some pics....8 inches of snow coming tonight..so I dont know when that will be

 

Ya I was worried it would be a bit shinney but it seems to be good...

Shit Alex, this is Buffalo out of 3 paint shops 1 place had a qt of HoK and couldnt get any more till next week.....

 

I thought I liked the other color till I saw this- fuckin' beautiful.

 

bitchen! i think once you get the belt line trim on and the bumpers/grill/lights you will not need scallops to break it up or add too it. will look bitchen.

have some of the guys here photoshop scallops for you before you decide to do it. i actually printed up a photoshop scallop job of my car and took it to my friend and said do this.

he was like if you like this why did you take it off? I was like what? then it dawned on me he thought the photoshop pic was real...

sorry for babbling. great car!

 

Awesome color!! The car looks killer.

 

I've been following your thread. I hate to be redundant, but man it looks good! You must work pretty fast. What's that, like three coats in how many days?

 

I haven't went to work in a week and a half..it interferes with my projects

 

Smokin' Hot

 

heres some picks when i went to buffalo to deliver a t shirt to bill
