P 17EED Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 My car is going into the bodyshop soon, i had decided to have it blown over in standard silver with a silver glitter in the laquer just so its a little bit different but now im thinking as im painting it anyway should i just go for a candy blue or something like that? Any ideas would be great, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraGirlie Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Silver is not a good base for metal flake, use a darker colour if you want it to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Would choose anything other than silver buddy. It CAN look very very good but it takes a lot of work to make a silver car stand out IMO. RSB is probably one of the rarer colours with a bit of dazzle. Black is the most popular colour but there are a lot more of them about than RSB.

P 17EED Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 How much for the blow over P17eed? The garage that i work at has a bodyshop so im doing all the prep and supplying paint then someone is just gonna do it on the side for me, prob about £200. Quite fancy candy blue but its quite a difficult thing to decide, dont wanna regret it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I would only go for a candy if your car is a show car or is only used for fun as you would seriosuly struggle to repair paint damage otherwise. Check out members garages, there are quite a few blues if that floats your boat. Blue does suit the supra though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 dont wanna sound silly but whats RSB? Royal sapphire blue. Its actually called royal sapphire pearl (RSP) if you want to do a search. Some people call it RSP some people call it RSB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P 17EED Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Think i have narrowed it down to Candy blue, candy red or some sort of orange. What do u all think? Im thinking candy red can look a bit pinky and orange might look like im trying to copy the supra of fast and furious. Help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraJames Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I will be honest, I think Orange has been over done with Supras, they look lovely and do stand out but there are lot out there. Candy Apple Red has also been done to death over the last few years, go to a big show and there is loads of cars in candy red, dont get me wrong they look lovely if done well. Why not try something different. I always knew what colour I wanted my car so was lucky, but having it re done again at the end of the year, will stick with the colour just a different shade. RSB is a lovely colour, depends if you want to stock colour or not. Could go with a good base colour and then add pearl or slight flake to the laquer, can get some amazing results. Have to say my fave paint ever on a Supe is the Purple Pearl on Shanes Jurgen sourced car. Seen in the flesh and its awesome, not to everyones taste as has a pinky pearl to it. House of Kolor had a stand at Modified Nationals and they had some amazing paint, but its not cheap. Also take in account that some paints appear different colours under different light, in sunlight my car looks like RSB, when its cloudy it looks dark blue, under artifical light it goes deep cadburys purple.

P 17EED Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Yes i was thinking along the same lines 'suprajames', thats one reason i thought candy blue, dont want a stock colour and also dont wanna break the bank on paint. Ur car looks lush, i want something to stand out like that but with out being over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franko Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I will be honest, I think Orange has been over done with Supras, they look lovely and do stand out but there are lot out there. Personally bright orange cars look disgusting and stick out like a sore thumb. Fast and the furious has a lot to answer for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraJames Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Yeah true, but some people like to stick out, hence why Ford launched the Focus ST in ABSO orange lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast and the furious has a lot to answer for Disgusting a well thats you off the xmas card list lol. Fast and furious boosted the cars profile as well as its after sales value imho.

Stevo Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Can't remember who it was, but someone on here once sprayed their car a metallic grey from the lamborghini chart - it looked the puppies if you ask me... will try and find a pic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 These are the only 2 pics I can find and the colour is Lamborghini Grigio Avlon (code 0049). Does it for me - and the RSP one in the background of pic 2 is looking sweet too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers chris Yes mate i agree with the boosting the cars profile can sales value, but personally i dont like the colour. Its just too bold and even with a body kit it doesnt pull it off for me.
