Hey guys, I was thinking about painting my car again. This time I want to go with a metallic color so can you guys posy pictures of your metallic paint jobs?
Post your metallic colors - 6G Celicas Forums
Prob not exactly what your looking for, but my base coat is a metallic silver. And I have some shots from when I was painting.
The metallic is used in the clear most of the time (at least to my understanding) mine was in the base. And way hope it holds you over till you get a real pic
You cant really see also to the extent the metallic "flake" is, it looked alot more like the metallic effect in person... but crappy cell phone cam cant show everything

Yupp as manny said, i sprayed orange over the silver.
But the silver looked amazing! and it wasnt hard at all. I was very temped to keep the silver after I sprayed it, cause it looked really clean. but i had bigger plans
Do you plan on doing the paint yourself?

thats not a metallic.
well, technicly it does have metaillic (silver) in it, but the depth and candy effect is done with pearl powders, and is called a "tri-stage" or "candy" paint job.
i recently did dustin and steffs beams in a tri-stage that is actually a little similar to fastbirds car, actually.
